To do this you will need:
Tools: scissors, utility knife, nail, hot glue gun, sandpaper.
Materials: 1,5 liter bottle, corrugated cardboard, turbine end template.
1. If you haven't already, glue the templates onto the corrugated cardboard.
2. When the glue is dry, cut out the two ends of the turbine with a utility knife, then cut the cylinder into two equal parts.
3. Poke a small hole with a nail.
4. Use scissors or a knife to cut off the top and bottom of the bottle, then cut the cylinder into two equal parts.
5. Use sandpaper to polish the inside edges of each bottle half where they join with the end pieces. Sanding will allow the glue to adhere better.
6. Apply hot glue to one of the curved edges of the turbine end pieces. Quickly place the plastic bottle half on this edge, holding it firmly for about 20 seconds until the glue cools and hardens (Do not apply glue to the plastic bottle half).
7. After checking the fit, apply glue to the edge of the second turbine end piece and attach it to the first half of the bottle as shown.
8. Squeeze hot glue onto the remaining edges of the end pieces and quickly attach the other half of the bottle as shown.
9. Push a sharpened round dowel through the center of the turbine, leaving about 6 cm protruding from the top.
10. Check the turbine for fit (fit) inside the frame. Spin it or blow on it to make sure it spins freely.

Energy from space for Starship
08.05.2024
Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>
New method for creating powerful batteries
08.05.2024
With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>
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, ... >>
| Random news from the Archive Prospects for the development of smart watches
03.08.2013
Many analysts believe that at first, such devices will be used to monitor the health of the user. The watch can measure the user's blood pressure and pulse by transmitting the data to a smartphone. Foxconn introduced a similar technology last month. However, there are various fitness bracelets even now.
Obviously, smartwatches will offer more functionality. In particular, they can act as a companion device for a smartphone or tablet. Various notifications can be displayed on the watch screen, saving the user from having to get their smartphone out of the bag, which is quite problematic, given the dimensions of modern devices. "It's much more convenient to just look at your wrist and see phone calls, messages, tweets or other notifications on your watch," says Angela McIntyre, analyst at Gartner. In addition, with the help of "smart" watches, you can control some of the functions of the smartphone: music playback, turn the silent mode on or off, and so on. Angela also believes that smart watches may have a built-in microphone for voice commands and for "quick" answers to phone calls.
However, the watch can act not only as a companion device, it can also function independently. In particular, according to rumors, Microsoft is preparing its own version of a smart watch that will have a built-in LTE module and run on a modified Windows 8. However, the analyst sees a problem here, because the user will have to buy a separate tariff plan for the watch, which is impractical.
Surveys have shown that on average, people check their smartphones 20 times per hour. "People are constantly checking their smartphones, but it would be easier to check their watches. There is a user interest in smartwatches that are lightweight and comfortable," McIntyre said.
Analysts also believe that many well-known watch manufacturers will want to participate in the production of "smart" watches. This will also be useful for electronics manufacturers, as for many users, a watch is a fashion accessory, not a functional device.
