The spiral antenna is intended for installation on personal radio stations in a portable version. Compared to a whip telescopic antenna, a spiral antenna has a smaller length, which creates undeniable advantages when using a radio station in a city. Despite its small dimensions, this antenna has great flexibility without breaking the electrical contact, which cannot be said about the telescopic antenna, which often loses inter-knee contact and requires more careful handling. But, most importantly, the efficiency of the "spiral" type antenna in terms of field strength is 1,2 - 1,5 times higher than the whip antenna with a typical size of 525 mm.
The results of experimental data for two communication options - with whip and helical antennas - show clear advantages of the latter. So, with a transmitter output power of 0,2 W and a receiver sensitivity of 1,5 - 2,0 μV, the range of reliable communication between radio stations of the same type in a city with spiral antennas was 1,4 km, which is 0,5 km more than with whip antennas. .
The material of the antenna blank is polyethylene or any other used for the production of high-frequency cables. Figure 1 shows the dimensions and design of such a workpiece.
The molding of a threaded connection in the simplest case is carried out by heating the workpiece in the connector body of the SR-50-74FV type.
The placement of the windings on the workpiece is shown in Fig.2. Winding I contains 80 turns of wire wound turn to turn over a section 34 mm long. Winding II contains 29 turns of wire, spaced evenly along the winding length of 150 mm. Both windings are made with PEV-2 wire 0,4 mm. The end of the winding is fixed by fusing the wire into polyethylene.
Tuning the antenna into resonance is carried out by winding or winding one or two turns of wire from the side of the connector. Resonance is achieved at maximum transmitter power output, which is recorded by a field strength device or any spectrum analyzer at a distance of at least 2 meters. After tuning, the antenna must be placed in a flexible waterproof casing.
The general view of the assembled antenna is shown in Fig.3.

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 ... >>
| Random news from the Archive magnet and appetite

It turns out that the magnetic compass tells the birds not only the direction of flight, but also the place where they are and how much they need to eat.
Swedish nightingales winter in southern Africa. Since on the way they have to overcome 1500 kilometers over the Sahara, before this difficult segment of the route, they stop in northern Egypt and fatten up. The Natural History Museum in Stockholm has built a laboratory setup that simulates the strength and direction of magnetic fields all the way from Sweden to South Africa. In this installation, ornithologists placed young nightingales weighing 20 grams, going to Africa for the first time. The same nightingales were kept outside the magnetic installation.
Both groups were provided with any required amount of food. It turned out that under the influence of the magnetic environment characteristic of the north of Egypt, the experimental birds gained an average of three grams of weight, while the control birds remaining in the Swedish magnetic field gained only one gram.
