Put a small coin on the table and throw it into your hand with a push of air. To do this, holding your hand with a shield behind the coin, blow sharply on the table. Only not to the place where the coin lies, but 4-5 cm in front.

The air is pushing

The air compressed by your breath will penetrate under the coin and toss it straight into your handful. A few trials - and you will learn to take a coin from the table without touching it with your hand.

If you have a narrow conical glass, you can do another fun experiment with coins. Put a penny at the bottom of the glass, and a nickel on top. It will lie horizontally, like a lid, although it does not reach the edges of the glass.

The air is pushing

Now sharply blow on the edge of the penny. He will stand on edge, and the penny will be thrown out by compressed air. After that, the penny will fall into place. So the invisible air helped you get a penny from the bottom of the glass without touching it or the penny lying on top!

A similar experiment can be done with egg glasses. Put two such glasses side by side and in the one closest to you, put an egg. In case of failure, take a cool egg. And now blow strongly and sharply in the place indicated by the arrow in the figure. Just right on the edge of the glass. The egg will jump and "sit down" in an empty glass!

The air is pushing

Invisible man slipped between the edge of the glass and the egg, burst into the glass, so hard that the egg jumped up! For some, this experience does not work out - "there is not enough spirit." But if you take an empty, blown-out shell instead of a hard-boiled egg, it will turn out for sure!

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. ... >>

Cooling material based on camel fur 15.11.2020

The researchers took inspiration from camel fur and developed a material that can lower its temperature without consuming electricity.

Materials cool when water evaporates from their surface. But as soon as all the water evaporates, the cooling effect disappears. Camels, like no other, are adapted to life in the desert. Although at first glance it seems that a "bald" camel will cool more efficiently than a fur-covered one, in fact this is not the case. Fur protects the animal's skin from heat and at the same time allows sweat to evaporate more slowly. As a result, cooling lasts longer, which allows the camel to save water by cooling the skin.

A new material created by researchers at MIT works in a similar way. It consists of two layers: a hydrogel is located on the bottom, and a porous silica-based airgel is located on top. The hydrogel is 97% water, which evaporates when heated. Due to this, the temperature of the material decreases when heat is applied. Airgel has very low thermal conductivity and absorbs very little heat from the environment. This allows you to keep the bottom layer of the hydrogel cold.

During the experiments, a "naked" hydrogel layer 5 millimeters thick lost all its water within 40 hours at an ambient temperature of 30 °C. However, after coating the hydrogel with a 5 mm layer of airgel, the drying time of the material at the same temperature increased to 200 hours. During cooling, the temperature of the material dropped by 7 °C. The cooling effect is "renewable": after the material has completely dried, it is enough to add water to it, and it will again cool the external environment.

Creating an airgel is still a rather difficult and expensive task, so researchers are looking for new materials that could replace it. Scientists hope that their technology will help people in hot regions. It can reduce the cost of shipping and storing food and medicine.

Well, there must be a hero to blow so hard. I can’t imagine (even with my experience of playing the flute) how it should be blown so that not only a coin, but even a boiled egg does not move so slightly, but actually jumps! This is definitely about ordinary people, and not about using a vacuum cleaner in reverse blowing mode?
