Focus Description:

The magician shows the audience two ordinary corks and a simple glass and declares that there is no more stubborn and capricious thing in the world than a cork. “For example,” says the performer, “if you look at these two traffic jams, there is nothing special about them: traffic jams are like traffic jams. However, this is not so, these traffic jams have character: they cannot stand each other. their influence, and the only one they still obey is me."

Focus secret:

To perplexed spectators, you suggest repeating the following seemingly very simple trick: you grasp the bottom of the glass with the thumb and forefinger of your right hand. Take a cork between the thumb and middle fingers of the same hand, put another one on it. Now you need to throw up the first cork so that it gets into the glass. This is not difficult to do, and usually the first cork hits the glass right away. By continuing to hold the glass with the cork in it in the same position, you throw a second cork, which will fall into the glass in the same way.

“That's all,” you say, “a rather simple thing, but only me can do such a thing with them. They will not obey anyone else, because, as I said, they cannot tolerate each other, and no one it will not be possible to drive two corks into a glass of you one after another. And indeed, no matter who tries to drive two corks into a glass, subject to all the above conditions, it fails (to facilitate the first cork, you can simply put a glass). As soon as the second cork enters the glass, the first immediately flies out of it. Sometimes it's even worse: not a single cork remains in the glass.

The failure of these attempts to drive the second plug is due to one reason - the force of inertia. When the second cork is thrown upwards, the glass involuntarily moves in the same direction, and together with the glass, the cork lying in it gets a swing, which, of course, immediately flies out. Therefore, the second cork must be thrown in such a way that the glass remains almost completely immobile. This can be achieved by throwing the second cork up with a flick of the ring finger. To do this, you need to take the cork between the thumb and middle fingers at the very top and press it from the bottom with the ring finger (the audience should not see this). Further, slightly squeezing the cork from top to bottom with the middle and thumb, from below, with the ring finger, lightly click the cork so that it jumps up above the edge of the glass, and then it is not particularly difficult to catch it in the glass.

To learn how to perform this trick flawlessly, you need to thoroughly practice.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

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 ... >>

Wind farms could work on Mars 27.12.2022

NASA scientists have found that there may be enough wind on Mars to use wind turbines as energy sources.

In order to simulate conditions on the Red Planet, the researchers adapted a climate model originally developed to study the climate on Earth. Factors such as the amount of solar radiation, dust content in the atmosphere and geographical relief were taken into account, which made it possible to determine the wind speed in different parts of the planet's surface.

It turned out that in many regions of Mars strong enough winds blow to contribute to the generation of wind energy, and in some regions the wind strength is sufficient to be the only source of energy. These include crater rims and volcanic highlands, as well as places with ice formations where wind can generate more electricity than solar panels.

As the authors write, wind energy compensates for the daily and seasonal decline in solar energy, especially in regions of scientific interest, in mid-latitudes and during local dust storms. The turbines will stabilize solar power generation, thereby increasing the percentage of time power exceeds mission design requirements to 60 to 90 percent of a large portion of the Martian surface.
