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 On the trail of chocolate
19.08.2007
Curious studies of the sense of smell in humans were conducted by Jess Porter, a graduate student at the University of Berkeley (USA).
She asked 32 undergraduate students to follow a 10-meter zigzag path with a chocolate-scented liquid on the grass of a lawn using their sense of smell. To ensure that the experimental subjects were not distracted by anything, they were blindfolded and their ears were plugged, leaving only the sense of smell. It turned out that two-thirds of the students, moving their noses from side to side, are able to complete the route in XNUMX minutes. After choosing four test subjects, they began to train them on the same exercise three times a day.
It turned out that the results are significantly improved with training. The possibility of "stereoscopic" sense of smell in humans (it is known in rats) was studied on 14 volunteers. With one nostril plugged, only a third made it to the end of the trail, and they did it 26% slower than with two nostrils.
The general conclusion: of course, the human sense of smell lags behind the canine, but it is much better than it is commonly thought, and lends itself to development.
