Comments on the article
On 40, 20, 14 and 10 meters I use a Windom type antenna (see picture). During operation for a year, the antenna showed satisfactory results both in short-range and long-distance communications.
The antenna beams are made of a bronze cord with a diameter of 2,5 mm, the extensions are made of 2 mm steel wire. Carrier rails are made of duralumin tubes with a diameter of 18 mm.
The antenna is suspended in the West-East direction at a height of 12 m from the ground, its plane is inclined to the horizon at an angle of 45°.

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 Recycling disposable masks into fuel
08.08.2020
The quarantine measures associated with the coronavirus pandemic have shown the world how much a person affects the environment. However, along with positive changes, noise reduction, water and air purification, our planet has also faced negative consequences. Namely, with a huge amount of waste of personal protective equipment (PPE). Now, scientists at the University of Petroleum and Energy Research in India say plastic from PPE can be converted into a renewable fuel.
Scientists propose to recycle disposable masks into fuel
The experts proposed a strategy that could help mitigate the problem of discarded PPE. Currently, the number of disposable masks has increased dramatically, and scientists say that this is becoming a significant threat to the environment.
Billions of items of polypropylene PPE can be converted into biofuels. Lead author Dr. Sapna Jain explains that converting this type of waste into pyrolysis oil (a type of synthetic fuel) "will not only prevent serious environmental consequences, but also create a new source of energy."
The main problem with PPE is their material - polypropylene. Its disposal is extremely difficult and requires chemical and physical methods. Once the masks end up in a landfill or in the ocean, they stay there for decades, as their natural degradation takes a very long time.
So scientists came to the conclusion that the best way to recycle is to recycle the material into something else. The researchers say that with the help of pyrolysis (a method of thermal decomposition of organic and inorganic compounds), polypropylene can be processed into fuel. This process is one of the most promising and sustainable waste recycling methods compared to incineration and landfilling.
