Water, if there are no impurities in it, does not conduct electricity, which means it is a good insulator. It can also be electrified from a distance. Run a very thin stream of water from the faucet, the thinnest you can get. The jet should flow out completely calmly, evenly. Bring an electrified comb to it a little below the tap. You will see how the jet deviated towards it.

Electrification of water

At a distance, through an air gap, electric charges appeared in the jet. On the side of the jet that is closer to the comb, the charges are of the opposite sign, and on the side farthest from the comb, the electric charges will be the same as on the comb itself. Nearby opposite charges will be pulled to connect with the charges of the comb, and the jet will deflect in the same direction. The same thing happens as with the thread in the previous experiment. Only when we electrify the stream do we prevent it from reaching the comb.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Dynamic Network Architecture Technology 20.08.2013

Huawei introduced dynamic network architecture technology and dynamic switch S12700. The switch is designed with a focus on services and user experience. According to the developers, the solution is highly reliable and supports large Ethernet frames. Dynamic technology has the key features needed to support new industry trends, including cloud computing, bring-your-own-device (BYOD), software-defined networking (SDN), Internet of Things (IoT), and big data analytics for business applications.

With the launch of the first dynamic network focused on services and user experience, Huawei introduced the SDN architecture for enterprise networks. It will allow to provide more efficient and flexible services, as well as move from service processing by a single node to full-scale management and control.

"Communication developments such as broadband, multimedia, mobility and social networking services are shifting networks' focus from technology and devices to services, subscribers and their perception," said William Xu, CEO of Huawei Enterprise Solutions. - Huawei is working on customer-centric innovation and cooperation with other industry representatives.We use our company's 10 years of experience to enhance the capabilities of IP networks to meet the needs of our customers.Launched the industry's first dynamic network and dynamic switch designed to to improve service efficiency and improve user experience gives me reason to believe that we can change the future of enterprise networks."

In an era of rapid technology development and the emergence of new areas of the communications industry, such as cloud computing, big data, mobility and social networking services, Huawei notes that network management is fraught with three difficulties: insufficient service processing performance, troubleshooting problems and insufficient response to requests. Leading enterprises need networks that can provide more flexible services and respond to changing service requirements in a timely manner.

Happened! Only this experience may not work if the faucet is powerful and a small stream flows quickly. And so it all happened!
