To cut a large diameter round hole, make a glass disc or a ring, this simple tool will help.

It consists of only three parts. The dimensions of the steel rod Ø 5 mm depend on the size of the cut hole. For small radii, you can use a nail without a hat. A hole Ø 2,4 mm is drilled in its end face and an M3 thread is cut to a depth of 10 mm. The second part - a steel sleeve Ø 10 mm and a height of 5 mm is turned on the machine (it is permissible to use an M6 nut with an inner diameter of about 5 mm). Drill a radial hole in the middle of the side face and cut an M2,5 thread. And finally, the third, smallest part - the central stop - is made from a piece of the M2,5 screw. Sharpen its end and cut two flat flats with a needle file.

To install a conventional glass cutter with carbide rollers on a fixture, you will need to replace the M3 screw with a longer one - so that after assembly it protrudes by 5-7 mm.

Tool for cutting round holes in glass (click to enlarge): 1 - glass cutter, 2 - M3 screw, 3 - rod Ø 5 mm, 4 - central stop (M2,5 screw), 5 - sleeve (M6 nut), 6 - cardboard, 7 - glass

Having screwed the rod onto the screw of the glass cutter, put a sleeve on it and fix it at the required distance with the M2,5 screw, turning it with pliers by the flats. Then glue a square piece of cardboard to the workpiece, put the tip of the screw on it, and the glass cutter-compass is ready to work.

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Major risk factor for gambling addiction 07.05.2024

Computer games are becoming an increasingly popular form of entertainment among teenagers, but the associated risk of gaming addiction remains a significant problem. American scientists conducted a study to determine the main factors contributing to this addiction and offer recommendations for its prevention. Over the course of six years, 385 teenagers were followed to find out what factors may predispose them to gambling addiction. The results showed that 90% of study participants were not at risk of addiction, while 10% became gambling addicts. It turned out that the key factor in the onset of gambling addiction is a low level of prosocial behavior. Teenagers with a low level of prosocial behavior do not show interest in the help and support of others, which can lead to a loss of contact with the real world and a deepening dependence on virtual reality offered by computer games. Based on these results, scientists ... >>

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 ... >>

Human height and political preferences are interconnected 23.08.2016

Scientists from the Ohio University (USA) argue that there is a certain relationship between a person's political views and his height. In other words, the political views and activity of people can be judged by their growth.

Often, tall people prefer to adhere to a conservative position, often they do not tend to strive for innovation and radical views. This trend applies to both women and men, although the latter are twice as likely to choose a conservative position.

Tall people are more willing to engage in active political activities, compared with other people. Small people are more inclined to give preference to the progressive views of the liberal persuasion. Previous research has found that tall people are wealthier than shorter people.

Tall people tend to be conservative, experts explain, because they don't want change because they fear losing their income.
