Focus Description:

Tell the audience that it's going to rain. Take an umbrella, open it and hold it above your head. And it will really rain - drops of water will spill from the dome of the umbrella onto the floor! (Fig. a).

Focus Rain from under an umbrella

Focus secret:

The secret of the trick is in a small rubber can - in a rubber bulb - with water, which you discreetly hold in your hand. When opening the umbrella, quietly put the can on the tube coming out of the hollow handle of the umbrella. At the right moment, slowly press on the can, and the water will rush up the handle, and leaving the small holes of the upper sealed end of the umbrella, it will flow down the dome and, like rain, drip onto the floor (fig. b).

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

PLM-40E - 40W Step Dimming LED Driver 14.07.2016

Mean Well has expanded its range of low cost indoor LED drivers. At the moment, the new PLM-12E series has been added to the existing PLM-25E and PLM-40E series with 40W output power and only 24mm thickness.

The power supply has power factor correction (PFC; PF>0.95), operates in current stabilization mode (CC) and is available for the following standard load current values: 350, 500, 700, 1050, 1400, 1750 mA.

In addition to the low profile, a feature of the new series is the possibility of 3-step dimming through a conventional switch without additional devices. When switching off for a short time and then switching it back on (less than 2,5 sec / OFF-ON), the output current is reduced in steps of 100% - 40% - 10%.

In order to reduce the cost, in the new PLM-40E series, the manufacturer has abandoned the universal input (100/240 V). The input voltage range was chosen to be 180-295 V, which is in good agreement with our domestic electrical networks. For fixtures that do not require operation in 100/115 V networks, this series will be the best choice in terms of functionality and cost.

Main technical parameters and features of PLM-40E series:

Output power 40W
Stabilization mode - current stabilization
Output current from range: 350, 500, 700, 1050, 1400, 1750mA
Step dimming by switch
Input voltage range 180-295V
Power factor >0,95
Efficiency 88% (typ.)
IP30 (plastic housing with enclosed terminals)
Class II for electrical safety (grounding is not required)
Protection against short circuit and overheating
Operating temperature range -30°C...+40°C
Dimensions (LxWxH) 175 x 42 x 24 mm
