Antenna type "sloper" (inclined dipole) - one of the most common. Especially often, radio amateurs use it in the 80 and 40 m bands, where it is very important to have radiation pressed to the ground in a vertical plane for DX communications.

There are several design options for the "sloper" antenna. Figure 1 shows a "sloper" 1/2L long, Rin = 75 Ohm.

Antenna Tilt dipole

When using a metal mast, the maximum radiation will be in the direction of decreasing the antenna web. If a dielectric pole or a tree is used as a mast, the diagram will be bidirectional. Figure 2 shows the "sloper" 1/4L. Rin = 50 Ohm. The metal mast must have a reasonably good earth connection. since the efficiency of the antenna depends on it.

On the basis of such an antenna, you can make a "sloper" at 160. 80, 40 meters. It works very well on the low bands, and when using an antenna matching device, it can also be used on 20, 15, 10 meters.

The antenna is shown in Fig.3. The extension coil of the 160-meter range is made on a dielectric frame with a diameter of 41 mm, 68 turns (turn to turn), PEV-2 wire with a diameter of 1 mm. Its inductance should be about 87,2 uH. Since the grounded mast is an integral part of the antenna here, the metal guys must be "broken" by insulators. The antenna is tuned using an SWR meter in the places shown in Fig. 3.

When using a matching device, no adjustment is required, it is enough to correctly perform the lengths of the antenna arms. When used with the multi-band option, arm "A" must be sized for 3500 kHz. But the most efficient is the "sloper" 1L long (fig.4). Such an antenna requires a slightly larger area for its installation, but this is justified by its work. Rin=75 Ohm. The total length of the antenna web is determined by the formula:

Lm=(936*0,305)/f MHz

Side Am=(702*0,305)/f MHz

Side Vm=(234*0,305)/f MHz

If you install 3-4 such antennas on one mast, then using the antenna switch you can choose different directions of radiation. Antennas not involved in the work must be automatically grounded.

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 ... >>

Life on Mars 10.09.2013

Scientists from the University of Nevada have found another circumstantial evidence that life on Earth could actually originate on Mars.

Recently, Professor Steven Benner of the Westheimer Institute of Science and Technology has already stated that life came to Earth from Mars and the evidence for this is molybdenum and boron, which are much more abundant on Mars than on our planet. Now, scientists from Nevada have discovered that Martian phosphates are much more water-soluble than similar terrestrial minerals. This means that life on the Red Planet was easier to originate than on ancient Earth.

Phosphates are a key element for life; without them, life would not have been possible. That is why the study of methods for extracting phosphates from minerals can help unravel the mystery of the origin of life on our planet. Until now, research in this field shows that phosphate-containing minerals do not dissolve very easily. This is the so-called "phosphate problem" of the origin of life: how could life on Earth have appeared in conditions when there was not enough phosphate in the environment.

The answer to this question may be the Martian origin of all life on Earth. The fact is that there are much more phosphates on Mars than on Earth. It remains to be seen how soluble they are in water.

Of course, American scientists did not have rock samples brought from Mars. However, they managed to synthesize the minerals chlorapatite and meryllite found on Mars by unmanned vehicles. Then the rock samples were exposed to water with different pH levels for different periods of time. The researchers then measured how much phosphate dissolved in the water and how long it took.

It turned out that both "Martian" materials saturated water with phosphates faster than their terrestrial counterparts, in some cases 45% faster. These figures may seem insignificant to some, but they have a significant impact on the probability of the origin of life.

Of course, a study conducted by American scientists does not prove that terrestrial life originated on Mars and only then moved to Earth. However, this study makes this version a little more plausible. In addition, it shows that the conditions for the origin of life were not only on Earth, but also on other planets. This means that there could be many habitable planets in our galaxy.
