Focus Description:

Remove a pack of filter cigarettes from your jacket pocket. A pack lying in the palm of your hand will suddenly begin to rotate around an axis in your hand. Just as suddenly, she stops. Open the pack, take out the cigarette, and put the pack back in your pocket.

Focus secret:

The secret of the focus is in the device of the pack. Inside it, in a closed space, on top of which a row of whole cigarettes is laid, there is a coil connected by an elastic band, which, in turn, is tied to a bracket at the other end. This device (if you open the pack) is hidden from the eyes of the audience from below in two rows by glued cigarette filters. A flat plate sticks out of the coil, which protrudes slightly out of the pack (Fig. a).

Before the demonstration, the plate is twisted, winding the rubber band around the reel. To keep the device in a charged state, there is a box with a slot in the pocket (Fig. b).

When the pack is taken out of the pocket, the record is grasped between the middle and ring fingers and removed from the box. As soon as you stop holding back the pack, it will start spinning. When the pack stops, the cigarette is removed from the first row, and the pack is closed and put into the pocket.

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 ... >>

Wood can cause allergies 07.07.2003

Experts from the Institute for Wood Research in Braunschweig (Germany) found that walls, parquet and furniture made from natural softwood can cause allergies in residents.

Softwood releases resin components into the air - terpenes, pinenes, limonene and other aromatic compounds. And when the natural resins in the felled tree begin to decompose, aldehydes and organic acids also enter the air.

Scientists analyzed the composition of the air in houses and apartments with the widespread use of coniferous wood and came to the conclusion that in recent years, in the pursuit of environmental friendliness of housing, builders and finishers have gone too far. The fact that spruces and pines emit organic molecules into the air can be seen on a walk through a coniferous forest. The smell is pleasant, but it is difficult for many to constantly live under its influence: cough, sore throat, irritation of the nasopharynx and other allergy symptoms begin.

Scientists recommend covering furniture, parquet and wooden wall panels with a colorless varnish, preferably water-based. Varnishes based on organic solvents are also suitable, but after processing them, the room must be ventilated for several days. Hardwoods: beech, oak, birch and others - contain few volatile substances and do not require such treatment.

Up to 200 micrograms of terpenes per cubic meter of air is considered a safe dose for long-term human stay, but in some homes and institutions, researchers have found concentrations of 2000 and even 6000 micrograms per cubic meter.
