Focus Description:

The assistants bring two chairs onto the stage and set them back to back at a distance of 1,5 meters. Then they take out a massive board at the ends and lay it on the backs of the chairs.

Invite a spectator and invite him to pass between the chairs. Push him with your right hand in the back, forcing him to go forward. For a moment, the light is turned off, and the viewer, walking, will even feel the touch of the board.

When the light appears again, the board will be behind your and the viewer's backs.

Focus secret:

The first secret is a board, which is a rectangular bar about 2 m long. Inside, the bar is made hollow, and therefore light. The thickness of its walls is from 5 mm to 1 cm. Such a board will have to be stored in a metal case so as not to accidentally damage the thin walls.

Focus Passing through the board

To make such a bar, it is better to cut the board diagonally, scrape out the inside and glue the halves together. Before gluing, you need to put a metal load at one end of the bar - a rod with a square section; the rod should come out through the hole in the board.

Focus Passing through the board

The second secret is in one of the chairs. A cylindrical groove is made in its back, into which a smooth metal cylinder is inserted, having a recess 4 cm long from the upper edge. In addition, there must be a load in the front legs and in the seat of the chair, which acts as a counterweight.

Focus Passing through the board

When taking the board to the stage, you need to cover the rod from the eyes of the audience with your hand. Chairs should be carried out easily, and the board, on the contrary, should be heavy enough. When the board is lying on the backs of the chairs, one of the assistants must quickly and imperceptibly insert the rod of the board into the recess of the chair.

At the same time, the second - hollow - end of the board should, as it were, hang in space, literally 1 mm short of the back of the chair.

At the moment when the light goes out, immediately push the board forward with your left hand and at the same time take a step forward with the viewer.

Focus Passing through the board

The board will describe a circle in the dark with its free end and will be behind you. Here you can stop it with your free left hand or make a stopper on the cylinder in the chair, which will fix the final position of the board.

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 ... >>

Spectrometer in your pocket 02.06.2016

A modern terahertz spectrometer allows you to determine almost all substances: in the part of the spectrum that such a device captures, radiation falls, which produces most condensed media - liquids, solids, living tissues - and, of course, explosive materials.

However, the device itself is rather bulky and slow: it needs a radiation source the size of a system unit, and the analysis of one sample takes up to half an hour - not the most convenient way to look for explosives at the airport.

In traditional spectrometers, the reaction of the analyte to radiation with a certain frequency is measured, and a new measurement is made for each frequency - and this requires, among other things, mechanical manipulations with the apparatus. That is why the analysis takes a long time in traditional spectrometers.

The response from MIT developers is the Quantum Cascade Laser (QCL). It is about the size of a microcircuit, and gives the result in 100 microseconds.

Like all electric lasers, QCL "drives" an electromagnetic wave in the active medium back and forth until its energy allows it to go outside. To order the frequencies of the waves produced by the laser, the engineers at MIT used a frequency comb. It generates a series of pulses ordered by wavelength.

The method was tested on a material whose spectrum had been calculated in advance, and the results were very accurate.

But there is one problem: although the quantum cascade lasers themselves are very small, they need to be cooled to very low temperatures, and the refrigerator takes up a lot of space. The developers are working on increasing the operating temperature and on other ways to solve the issue. For example, it is possible to cool the device not all the time, but only in those fractions of a second when the laser is working.

Experts call the use of QCLs in spectrographs a breakthrough - perhaps this technology will make it possible to create very compact and very fast spectrometers that can be used anywhere - including at airports for streaming baggage scanning. Then those who pass the control will not have a single chance to carry a prohibited substance on board.
