carabiner brake - a system of carabiners and ropes, intended mainly for rescue work, when it is necessary to ensure the etching of loaded ropes by one or two people.

Any braking device consists of a "frame" and a "crossbar" against which the rope is rubbed. The rope "enters" the "frame", goes around the "crossbar", "leaves" the "frame". In our case, the "frame" will be one carabiner, and the "crossbar" - the other.

A carabiner is attached to the point of insurance (Fig. 44). He will act as a guide.

The second carabiner is fastened on it and muffled (Fig. 45). This will be a "frame" carbine.

A rope folded in half is passed through it (Fig. 46).

A carabiner is fastened into the loop formed, it is also fastened to the outgoing end of the rope (the one that will leave the brake (Fig. 47). This third carabiner plays the role of a "crossbar".

The carabiner brake is ready (Fig. 48). After assembling the carabiner brake, all carabiners must be coupled.

Attention! Pay attention to the location of the latches of the carabiners!!! It is possible to press the rope to the carabiner couplings during its movement. The moving rope must not unmuff the carabiners.

If the insurers let go of the rope, it will go down under load. To prevent this from happening, the cargo rope is insured with a grasping knot (a grasping knot from a double cord is used on a double rope), which is knitted after (along the rope) a carabiner brake (Fig. 49).

Grasping in the process of work is regularly moved to the carabiner brake. However, if the spotters make a mistake and the grasper is delayed, then it will not be easy to correct the situation. Either you need to have the assembled chain hoist ready, or fasten the grasping one not directly to the insurance point, but to the emergency system (to the chain hoist (Fig. 41) or to the loaded rope etching scheme (Fig. 38).

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Getting water even from desert air 09.09.2019

Despite the fact that advanced technologies serve humanity in the XNUMXst century, many populated regions on our planet still suffer from a shortage of drinking water. But this crisis can be resolved in the near future. Yagi, a chemist at the University of California at Berkeley, said he and his colleagues have created a solar-powered device that could provide water to millions of people.

It is based on a porous crystalline material known as a metal-organic framework (MOF) that acts like a sponge: it sucks water vapor out of the air, even in the desert, and then releases it as liquid water.

Yagi and his colleagues synthesized the first MOF in 1995, and since then chemists have designed tens of thousands of similar structures. Each is made up of metal atoms that act as hubs connected in a porous network by organic linkers designed to quickly hold the hubs and create openings to accommodate molecular "guests". By mixing and matching metals and linkers, the researchers found they could tailor pores to trap gas molecules such as water vapor and carbon dioxide (CO2).

The first versions of the device using MOF turned out to be too expensive - chemists used zirconium, which costs about $ 160 per kilo and therefore is not profitable for the mass industry. However, they recently solved this problem: the new frame was already synthesized on the basis of aluminum (which costs $3 per kilogram) and was named MOF-303.

The initial efficiency also left much to be desired. But now, using MOF-303's ability to fill and empty pores in just minutes, the team can do dozens of these cycles every day. Backed by a solar panel to power a fan and heater that speed up cycles, the device produces up to 1,3 liters of water per kilogram of MOF per day, even from desert air. But this is not the limit: Yagi expects further improvements that will increase this amount to 8-10 liters per day. Last year, he founded Water Harvesting, which plans to release a microwave device this fall that can produce up to 8 liters a day. Next year, the company is promising a large-scale version that will produce 22 liters per day, enough to supply a small village. "We're just making water mobile," says Yagi. "It's like taking a wired phone and making it wireless."
