Focus Description:

Address to the owner of usual hours: - Is your watch musical? - Having received a negative answer to this, continue: - Would you like to make such of them? I'll have to fiddle around with them a bit. - Saying this, perform magical actions on the clock, then say: - I think that's enough. Let's try. Come on, clock, tell me, what is the last hour? - Let's suppose that at this moment it was twelve minutes to nine, and, to everyone's surprise, the clock will emit eight consecutive strikes loudly, like a bell. - Well, now the last quarter! The clock will strike two and stop. - See how under the magical influence your clock becomes musical.

Focus secret:

The secret of the trick lies in the skillful use of a small device that is placed in the pocket of the vest and produces this sound.

The device consists of a small copper cylinder (about 3 cm deep and 5 cm across) inside which there is a small clock bell with a chime that is wound with a key like a clock.

The mechanism is driven by pressure on the button. The hour hammer strikes as long as the pressure continues and stops as soon as it stops. Holes are drilled in a circle in this cylinder in order to have a free passage for sound. The device is placed in the left pocket of the vest. The waistcoat should be so narrow that the simple expansion of the chest during a forced inhalation serves as sufficient pressure on the button and that this pressure stops on exhalation.

When demonstrating the trick, you should try to keep the clock in a fairly straight line between the pocket and the audience, because if the line along which the sounds pass is almost straight, it will be impossible to notice the deception.

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 ... >>

LMX9838 - Bluetooth module with serial port profile 26.11.2006

National Semiconductor presented a novelty at Electronica2006 in Munich: a Bluetooth module with a serial port profile. It is a fully integrated Bluetooth 2.0 module, including a 2,4GHz carrier transceiver, crystal, antenna, LDO, and discrete elements that make up a complete miniature (10x17x1,85mm) Bluetooth node.

It includes all the hardware and software to create a complete solution, from antenna to application, including GAP, SDAP and SPP profiles. The module software also includes all underlying levels of the Bluetooth stack. The module contains a configurable database of services provided, which allows you to respond to requests for servicing additional profiles using the host processor.

What's more, the LMX9838 is pre-certified as a Bluetooth subsystem. Successful compliance testing with the Bluetooth Qualification Program will quickly bring LMX9838-based designs to market.

Based on National Semiconductor's 16-bit CompactRISC processor architecture and Digital Smart Radio high-precision digital radio technology, the LMX9838 module is the optimal turnkey solution for building a Bluetooth node in terms of connection management and data processing.
