The simplest flying machine is the kite. Now it's just a toy. Previously, it was used to raise signals and even observers. They were also used for scientific purposes.

It is made from paper and dry splinter. The shingles used for plastering are very good; it will come in handy for many of your crafts. First of all, tie the frame and stick it on paper on one side. It is recommended to take paper more than the frame by 1 cm on each side, and then bend these strips inward, sealing the threads. Let it dry thoroughly, then make a bridle out of strong threads (see figure, dimensions are given in centimeters). Attach one thread to the upper corners of the frame. The resulting loop, if pulled back, should reach the middle of the kite with its top. Tie a short thread of the bridle with one end to the intersection of the middle rails, piercing the paper, and with the other end to the middle of the loop.

Kite

The short thread should be of such length that, pulled up, it touches the middle of the top rail. From below, on two ropes, hang a tail with a bunch of bast at the end. Attach a handrail (a long thin rope) to the knot of the bridle. Instead of a rope, it is better to take a long fishing line for the "path" (lure) to launch the kite. Adjust the size of the bridle and the severity of the tail during a trial run of the kite. It should rise obliquely in the air, air resistance will lift the plate up. Fly kites together.

The launcher with the lifeline goes forward 15 meters against the wind. His assistant holds the snakes in his hands above his head. The launcher runs, and the assistant releases the kites on a signal. The rope can be released while standing still.

To facilitate the kite, long side rails can be replaced with threads, tightly tied to the notches of the rails and smeared with glue at the joints.

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. ... >>

Eco-fueled catamaran sails around the world 18.07.2017

The Energy Observer has set off on its first circumnavigation of the world. This weekend, a French catamaran, powered by every known fuel except diesel and natural gas, left the harbor of Paris and headed down the Seine to Le Havre; from there it will go out and from there to the English Channel, and across the strait to the Atlantic.

The catamaran must make 101 stops in 50 countries; the team is not going to set speed records, so the journey will take six years. During this time, the ship will not emit a single cubic meter of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The project is already being dubbed "Marine Solar Impulse" by analogy with the solar-powered aircraft that completed its round-the-world flight last year.

The hydrogen fuel on the Energy Observer is produced on board; in addition, the ship's batteries will store electricity generated by solar panels (total area will be 130 sq.m.) and two thirty-meter wind turbines.

And if the ship gets completely calm, and the sky is overcast (or at night), the installation of sea water electrolysis and hydrogen production will be used. In addition, the catamaran can also go under sail; then the course of the ship will rotate the turbine, which will generate additional electricity. The hull of the Energy Observer was borrowed from a 1983 racing catamaran, which was modified to accommodate turbines, an electrolysis plant and other equipment.
