Comments on the article
Two American shortwaves Myers (W1FBY) and Rusgrove (WA1LNQ) developed a small-sized three-element antenna for the 20 m band. A significant reduction in its size was achieved through the use of inductors and capacitive elements. All main dimensions of the antenna are shown in the figure.
The antenna is made of aluminum tubes with an outer diameter of 32 mm. The frames for winding the coils are connecting inserts with a diameter of 28.6 mm, made of organic glass. Coils L1, L2 contain 23,5 turns, L3, L4 - 29 turns, L5, L6 - 26 turns of wire (in enamel insulation) with a diameter of 1.4 mm. The winding length of all coils is 229 mm.
The capacitive elements are in close proximity to the coils. They are pieces of aluminum corners with a side of 90 mm and a length of 19 mi attached to the tubes (at an angle of 610 ° to each other). The ends of the corners are connected with a wire with a diameter of 1,5-2 mm. The resonant frequencies of the elements are shown in the figure.
Coordination of the antenna vibrator with the feeder is carried out using an L-shaped device. The diameter of the tube used in the matching device is 9,5 mm, its length is 1016 mm. The supporting insulating insert (not shown in the figure) is made of organic glass. The maximum capacitance of the trimmer capacitor is 140 pF. It is placed inside an aluminum box and isolated from the walls. The capacitor is connected to the tube with an aluminum strip 152 mm long.
Setting up a properly assembled antenna is reduced to obtaining a minimum SWR at a frequency of 114,1 MHz using a trimmer capacitor and the position of the shorting collar in the matching device. The SWR value at the edges of the range should not exceed 2.

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 Swimming improves children's vocabulary
21.07.2021
A study by researchers at the University of Delaware suggests that exercise can increase children's vocabulary.
Children between the ages of six and 12 were taught new words, after which they went in for swimming, CrossFit or coloring pictures. Swimmers scored 13% better on subsequent vocabulary tests. Lead researcher Maddie Pruitt, a college swimmer, is not surprised by the results.
"Motor movements help memorize new words. Exercise increases levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, a protein important for cognitive function," Pruitt notes.
Why didn’t they have a similar effect when doing crossfit? The scientist explains this by the amount of energy that the brain needs with each exercise. Swimming is an activity that kids can do without much thought or instruction. It's more automated. And CrossFit exercises were new for children. First, they needed to learn the movements, which used up mental energy.
