Without a hand vise, it is difficult to process small parts. However, they are not convenient in everything: the "production process" takes place on weight, what kind of accuracy is there.

And what if you fix the vise? Having estimated, I decided to stop using them in the version of a universal clamp, which could fix small items (parts, radio equipment boards, soldering wires) in any spatial position.

The clamp is supported by a massive base. I carved it from a piece of stainless steel (stainless steel is used hereinafter), polished the conical surface, and glued a felt ring on the support one so as not to damage the desktop cover. In the neck Ø 14 mm, I drilled a hole with an M5 thread for a camera tripod, which I occasionally use, - the base has become universal.

A lower clamp with a stepped clamping hole is put on the neck. A hollow post bolt is inserted into it, on which a spring Ø 10 mm is threaded. The spring abuts against the shoulder of the bolt and prevents self-unscrewing of the nut with a cylindrical knurled head, which fixes the hollow rack in a predetermined position.

The latter is a head into which a stepped tube is pressed. The top of the tube is turned to Ø 14 mm and cut: along and across the axis. An upper clamp with a screw having a knurled head is put on the formed neck. It serves to fix the shaft with a manual vise in the required position.

Universal clamp (click to enlarge): 1 - base, 2 - lower clamp, 3 - knurled nut, 4 - hollow post, 5 - knurled screw, 6 - upper clamp, 7 - knurled shaft, 8 - hand vise , 9 - head, 10 - adjusting screw, 11 - M5 hole for camera tripod

I also supplied the shaft with a knurling in order to, by rotating its conical tip, reduce or spread the vise jaws, the shank of which is screwed into the threaded hole of the tip.

The vertical movement of the workpiece is provided (albeit within small limits) by a screw-regulator. At the same time, it prevents the shaft from falling out of the hollow column. Vertical fixing is carried out by the same upper clamp. All listed parts are chrome-plated after manufacturing. The universal clamp assembled from them looks very elegant. I have been using it for several years now, it is convenient and pleasant to work with.

Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Photosynthesis battery 25.01.2023

Plants are often considered sources of food, oxygen, and decoration, but not a source of electricity. However, scientists have found that by using the natural transport of electrons in plant cells, it is possible to produce electricity as part of a biological ecological solar cell.

Scientists have used a succulent plant for the first time to create a living "bio-solar battery" powered by photosynthesis.

Electrons are naturally transported as part of biological processes in all living cells, from microbes and fungi to plants and animals. Through the introduction of electrodes, the cells can be used to generate electricity that can be used outside. Previous research has created fuel cells using bacteria, but they need a constant supply of food. This new approach uses photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy, to generate electricity.

During this process, light triggers the flow of electrons from the water, which leads to the formation of oxygen and sugar. This means that living photosynthetic cells are constantly producing a stream of electrons that can be pulled off like photographs and used to power an external circuit, like a solar cell.

Some plants, such as succulents in dry environments, have thick cuticles that hold water and nutrients in the leaves. Janov Schlosberg, Gadi Schuster and Adir wanted to test for the first time whether photosynthesis in succulents could create energy for living solar cells by using their internal water and nutrients as an electrochemical cell electrolyte solution.

Researchers have created a living solar array using the succulent Corpuscularia lehmannii, also known as the "ice plant". They inserted an iron anode and a platinum cathode into one of the plant's leaves and found that its voltage was 0,28 volts. When connected to a circuit, it produced a photocurrent density of up to 20 μA/cm 2 under the action of light and could continue to produce current for more than a day. Although these numbers are less than those of a traditional alkaline battery, they only display one flap.

Previous research on similar organic devices suggests that daisy-chaining multiple leaflets can increase voltage. The team specifically designed the living solar cell so that the protons in the internal leaf solution could combine to form hydrogen gas at the cathode, and that hydrogen could be harvested and used for other purposes.
