In the line of electronic ballasts there are devices with cold start (no more than five inclusions per day) and with electrode preheating (with unlimited inclusion per day).

Regarding the production of electronic ballasts in Russia, it should be noted that from time to time good circuit solutions were offered by the companies Eleks-Electro (Aleksandrov), Transvit (Veliky Novgorod), Sitel (Moscow), Orbita (Saransk), etc.

However, to date, none of the Russian companies have managed to establish a stable production of a high-quality and competitive product. The reasons for this lie in the lack of funding, low qualification of the working staff, as well as the inability to create a production process as a whole. Deserves attention, perhaps, only one company - JSC "ENEF" enef.by (Belarus). Its product line consists of 117 types of electronic ballasts (including electronic ballasts for T5 lamps and adjustable ballasts).

Undoubtedly, the leading Western manufacturers of electronic ballasts, having a good understanding of the prospects of the Russian market, offer a wide range of these products. Already a few years ago, OSRAM, HELVAR, TRIDONIC, VOSLOH SCHWABE, PHILIPS and others were noted for their presence in our country.

Today, no one doubts that in the next 3-5 years electronic ballasts will completely oust uneconomical and unhealthy electromagnetic ballasts from the market. By the way, many who know how to count money and value their health and the health of others have long since changed starters and chokes in their lamps to modern electronic ballasts.

Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Thousands of molecules combined into a single quantum state 04.05.2021

The concept of many particles acting together as one big particle, sharing their quantum states, is not new. Scientists at the University of Chicago have been experimenting with clouds of individual atoms in a state of matter called a Bose-Einstein condensate.

These clouds are formed from atoms cooled to a fraction above absolute zero (but not to absolute zero when the atoms stop moving). This causes them to descend to their lowest energy state, moving extremely slowly so that their energy differences disappear, causing them to overlap in a quantum superposition.

The result is a high-density cloud of atoms that acts as a single "superatom" or material wave. Molecules, however, are made up of many atoms bonded together and are therefore much more difficult to tame.

They then cooled the condensate even further and increased the magnetic field so that about 15 percent of the cesium atoms collided and bonded in pairs to form dekesium molecules. Unbound atoms were ejected from the trap and a magnetic field gradient was applied to levitate and hold the remaining molecules in a two-dimensional configuration.

The resulting gas consisted of molecules that, as scientists found out, were in the same quantum state, with the same spins, orientation and vibration.

Not only for the molecular condensate itself, but also for the transition between atomic and molecular Bose-Einstein condensates. Learning how this works will help scientists streamline the process so that we can create condensates with other molecules that may be easier to maintain or more efficient for various technological applications.
