Focus Description:

Pick up the rug from the floor and show it on both sides to the audience. Then twist the rug into a roll and, running your hand inside the roll, remove the tapes from it. The ends of the ribbons are sewn to one of the long sides of the rug. Tie the roll with ribbons in the middle and hang it above the floor on a hanging hook.

Going to the rug hanging in the form of a roll, take out several beautiful scarves from the bottom hole, then many long paper garlands and hand them over to the assistant, who will hang them around the stage. Following this, take out a large bucket from there and let the duck out of it. Then again remove the garlands, lit lanterns and another bucket from the roll. Pour the water out of it into the first bucket and take the second duck out of it. Then slowly remove the roll and, by untying it, show that the mat is empty on both sides.

Focus secret:

For the demonstration, you need two metal buckets with secret compartments, various folding garlands of thin paper, paper or feather flowers, folding fabric lanterns with small candles inserted in them, which light up the moment you take them out under the cover of a rug.

An ordinary track 70-80 cm wide and 1,5-2 m long can serve as a rug. Four wide ribbons 2 m long are sewn to one of the long sides of the rug. At the ends they are connected all together and sewn to the ring so that the rug can be hung on a hook hanging from above.

Buckets are made from tin. Their approximate dimensions are: diameter - 25 cm and height - 40 cm. Figure a shows the appearance of both buckets nested in each other, and figure b shows the sectional diagram of the buckets.

One of the buckets is shown with a thick line - it is pulled out second, the other, shown with a thin line, is pulled out first. The bucket, drawn with a thin line, is inserted into the upper bucket and secured with pins, without which (if they are removed) you can pull out the first, inner bucket. A duck is "charged" into the inner bucket, and between the walls - in the free space - you can put scarves and garlands.

The second bucket has a double bottom, and on the lower bottom there is an opening door. Garlands and folded lanterns with small candles are placed through it. Water is poured into its upper space and the duck is "charged". This bucket has soldered ears, for which buckets are suspended on cords together with a rug.

These collapsible buckets, with special attachments for "charging" props, fall into the mat via a trapdoor in the stage floor. It can be made very small - 30 x 30 cm.

At the time when you, showing the rug, hold it in front of the hatch, the hatch quickly opens the assistant and, under the cover of the rug, gives buckets, which you imperceptibly move with your foot a little to the side. Then the assistant closes the hatch, and you, wrapping the rug around the buckets, tie them in the middle with a ribbon and put the ring on the hook lowered from above. The assistant lifts the rug, and with it both buckets, up. Then everything goes according to the description.

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 ... >>

Methanol production at room temperature 28.09.2023

Scientists from Cardiff University and an international research team have presented an innovative method for producing methanol, a key component for the production of fuels, plastics and medicines, which does not require external energy sources such as light or electricity and operates at normal room temperature. This method is based on the use of a highly active catalyst that converts natural gas methane and oxygen into methanol.

Innovation involves eliminating costly and energy-intensive processes and creating new catalytic methods to make methanol production more environmentally friendly. A special role in this process is played by phosphomolybdate with a reduced H2 content, which stimulates the aerobic oxidation of methane to methanol at room temperature.

Professor Graham Hutchings, a chemistry expert at Cardiff University and one of the study's co-authors, said: "The discovery of efficient catalysts for the synthesis of methanol from methane is of key importance for the modern chemical industry."

This research was made possible through international collaborations including the Max Planck Center for the Foundations of Heterogeneous Catalysis, the Net Zero Innovation Institute at Cardiff University and overseas research institutes. The Cardiff University team, working in cutting-edge laboratories, shared their expertise in catalyst design and performance analysis techniques, which was fundamental to understanding catalyst performance and increasing its lifespan.

Dr Andrea Folli, electrocatalysis scientist at the Net Zero Innovation Institute, added: "This discovery could be an important step towards sustainable fuel economy for methanol-based fuels, which is especially important given the huge supply of methane as a feedstock."
