Comments on the article

During the construction of houses, large rooms, as a rule, are equipped with wiring, which allows you to turn on two, four and six lamps in series in chandeliers (for example, six-horned ones). At the same time, in smaller rooms (bedrooms, children's rooms), the wiring is designed only to turn on all the chandelier lamps at once. However, even in such rooms it is sometimes required to turn on only a part of the lamps from them.

You can, of course, redo the wiring and make it the same as in large rooms. However, this work is serious and it is not worth starting it for the sake of altering the electrical circuit of the chandelier. Instead, I suggest that you supplement your chandelier with one or two switches, usually used in sconces or floor lamps, each of which is connected to the circuit of one of the lamps.

When the regular and all additional switches are on, all the lamps are on. Sequential switching off of lamps is carried out by additional switches.

The figure shows a three-arm chandelier with one additional switch, which allows you to turn on three or two lamps. If you add another additional switch, you can turn on one, two or three lamps.

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 ... >>

The threat of space debris to the Earth's magnetic field 01.05.2024

More and more often we hear about an increase in the amount of space debris surrounding our planet. However, it is not only active satellites and spacecraft that contribute to this problem, but also debris from old missions. The growing number of satellites launched by companies like SpaceX creates not only opportunities for the development of the Internet, but also serious threats to space security. Experts are now turning their attention to the potential implications for the Earth's magnetic field. Dr. Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics emphasizes that companies are rapidly deploying satellite constellations, and the number of satellites could grow to 100 in the next decade. The rapid development of these cosmic armadas of satellites can lead to contamination of the Earth's plasma environment with dangerous debris and a threat to the stability of the magnetosphere. Metal debris from used rockets can disrupt the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Both of these systems play a key role in protecting the atmosphere and maintaining ... >>

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Biometric wristband with GPS 14.05.2014

One of the Tomsk enterprises of the Russian Federation has developed a biometric bracelet capable of measuring the owner's pulse and body temperature, and transmitting an alarm signal to relatives via cellular communication in case of deviation from the norm. The device can also transmit GPS coordinates to emergency doctors.

Engineers of a commercial structure and employees of the Department of Medical Cybernetics of the Siberian State Medical University took part in the creation of the development.

Using information from sensors, the bracelet can summarize information about the state of human health. In the event of a deviation from the norm, the bracelet is able to automatically send a call to the patient's relatives or call the Call Center if their phones are not available.

Activation of this function is also possible in manual mode, by pressing the "panic button".
