Chemical heating pad for hiking. Tourist tips

Tourist tips

Now ski hikers have everything for spending the night even in cold weather: light tents and sleeping bags, foam mats instead of the traditional coniferous spruce branches for bedding, flammable liquid for quickly lighting a fire from any, even raw firewood.

And the cold will not reach the experienced even by morning, when the fire has already burned out, and the frost, on the contrary, has intensified. Right in the sleeping bag they will be warmed by an unusual chemical heating pad.

Camping heating pad: 1 - waterproof package; 2 - copper chloride powder; 3 - aluminum filings; 4 - water; 5 - sawdust

For a chemical heating pad, only a waterproof bag is required, into which 3-5 g of copper chloride powder and aluminum filings are poured. If you add water to the bag, a chemical reaction will begin with the release of heat. To make it go evenly and for a long time, sawdust is added to the mixture in advance, and everything is thoroughly mixed.

Such a "stove" warms gently and works safely, because it does not have hot elements or open flames.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

IGBT modules with a total lead inductance of 15 nH 30.11.2009

SEMIKRON has introduced the latest generation of low inductance 1200 V SEMITRANS IGBT modules designed for use in 20...300 kW converters. Now these modules will be equipped with V-IGBT (Fuji) chips, similar in their characteristics to Trench 4 crystals.

The new IGBTs feature smoother switching characteristics and lower dynamic losses to improve conversion efficiency. V-IGBT crystals will be installed in three module sizes in three different configurations, designed for use in eight power ranges. The operating current range of the power switches is 150...600 A. The total inductance of SEMITRANS 3 and 4 outputs is reduced to 15 nH.

With a typical IGBT switching speed of 5000 A/µs, the amplitude of switching surges is only 75 V. For power switches of the same class available on the market, this value is in the range of 90...125 V. The new modules will be produced in basic configurations, necessary for the design of industrial converters: single keys, half-bridges and choppers. The insulation voltage of the components of the new SEMITRANS family is 4000 V, they are equipped with 4 types of IGBT crystals: IGBT2, IGBT2 fast, IGBT3, IGBT4.

SEMITRANS modules have 3 operating voltage classes: 600 V, 1200 V and 1700 V, they are produced in 3 standard sizes of housings of 34 mm and 62 mm standards. Also available are 6 key SEMITRANS 6 according to the 3-phase inverter scheme, SEMITRANS 5 for building a 3-level inverter with an integrated current shunt. A SEMITRANS 9 with an isolation voltage of 9 kV for railway applications is under development.
