Focus Description:

On the table is an ordinary wine bottle, a glass and a low painted cylinder. Fill your glass and drink your drink. Then put the cylinder on the bottle so that its neck is flush with the top of the cylinder. Since the cylinder is almost half the length of the bottle, the bottom of the bottle will protrude a lot from it.

Holding such a structure in your hands, cover the cylinder with a handkerchief along with the bottle. Make a few mysterious movements over the scarf. Now throw the handkerchief aside. Below the cylinder, the bottom of the bottle will still be visible. Slide the bottle completely into the cylinder from below, and at the same time it will disappear without a trace. Show the cylinder from the inside on both sides - it is empty.

Focus secret:

The bottle is in two parts. The upper part - with a neck - has a bottom. A glass of drink is poured into this part in advance. A thin cylinder is mounted on it from below - the lower part of the bottle. The top of the bottle can be made of wood, the bottom of thin sheet metal or even thick cardboard. When assembled, the bottle is no different from the real one - it is painted like wine.

Focus Disappearing Bottle

The cylinder can be made of plywood or cardboard. Its height is one third less than that of the bottle. On the bottle, it should not be worn very tight, but not loose. When pouring a drink into a glass, lightly hold the bottle outside so that both parts do not accidentally separate. After that, take the cylinder and put it on top of the bottle. Due to the difference in height, the bottom of the bottle will come out quite a lot from the bottom.

Cover the top of the cylinder with a handkerchief and perform several mysterious actions on it. Conventionally, this has some connection with the demonstration of focus. While holding the bottom of the bottle through the cylinder, remove the handkerchief from the cylinder along with the top of the bottle. To do this, insert your index finger into the neck through the handkerchief. The handkerchief itself, which only half covers the cylinder with a bottle in size, will not give the audience any reason to think that something might be hidden under it.

With the handkerchief, along with the top of the bottle, out of the audience's view, still lightly hold the bottom of the bottle through the cylinder. Unsuspecting spectators will be quite sure that the bottle is still in the cylinder, because from below they can clearly see it. Now quickly slide the bottle cylinder from the bottom into the painted outer cylinder and show it to the audience from both sides.

The bottle cylinder, which is tightly attached to the walls of the outer cylinder from the inside, will not be visible to the audience; especially since it will be painted from the inside in the same way as the outer cylinder.

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 ... >>

Nanofluid for oil production 21.09.2020

Researchers at the University of Houston have demonstrated that low-cost and non-toxic nanofluids can be used to efficiently extract even heavy, highly viscous oil from reservoirs.

So-called heavy oil - the result of the molecular structure of oil - makes up 70% of the world's oil reserves and will be needed to meet growing energy demands until clean energy sources are developed and used everywhere. Modern oil extraction technologies using steam are expensive and damaging to the environment.

However, scientists have developed a nanofluid that helps to extract oil from the reservoir using the following mechanisms.

The chemical reaction that occurs when the sodium nanoparticles come into contact with the water in the reservoir generates heat, acting in the same way as steam injection and other heat-based methods to push oil out of the reservoir, without the need for external - and greenhouse gas - producing - heat source.

The nanofluid also reacts to form sodium hydroxide, a chemical commonly used in alkaline flooding in oil fields. Sodium hydroxide can cause movement in the oil and cause a viscosity-lowering reaction.

The third reaction produces hydrogen gas that can be used for waterflooding, another common oil recovery method.

The sodium nanomaterials are dispersed after the reaction, thus not damaging the environment. Optimal concentrations will vary depending on individual development conditions.

Sodium is highly reactive with water. This suggests that it may be useful for enhanced oil recovery. However, this also complicates its preparation - exposing it to water too early will result in failure. The researchers solved this problem by preparing sodium nanoparticles in silicone oil, allowing the substance to disperse throughout the tank before it comes into contact with the water in the tank, causing fewer chemical reactions over a larger area. It is also possible to disperse sodium nanoparticles in other solvents, including pentane and kerosene, or even blend them with polymers or surfactants to achieve higher oil recovery.

While the paper focuses on using the nanofluid to increase heavy oil recovery, the scientists note that it could also be used in light oil production and for more general domestic purposes such as cleaning pipes clogged with grease.
