Focus Description:

The magician demonstrates what is inside the objects.

Focus secret:

You can surprise the audience with a simple device made of translucent paper (or fabric), two electric lamps and cardboard. The scheme of such a device is clear from the figure.

Focus Magic x-ray machine

A screen is made of paper or fabric. On one side there are spectators, and on the other side there are lamps hidden from prying eyes, as well as cardboard silhouettes of objects (for example, an egg and a chicken, as in the picture). You can put all this in some kind of box or install a screen, blocking off part of the room. The essence of the trick is that you show the audience an egg and say:

- I have such a magical apparatus that can show what is inside objects.

You put this egg somewhere behind the screen and turn on the first lamp (it is on the left in the picture). A shadow from a cardboard figure will appear on the screen, and everyone will think that this is the same egg. If your device is small, you can do without a cardboard egg, and fix the very real one that you showed to the audience on a special stand. So even better. Then you make an important appearance and report that now powerful, but mysterious rays will shine through this egg, and turn on the second lamp. The silhouette of the egg fades a little, but on the screen, a chicken is clearly visible, which supposedly is inside the egg. The audience is simply amazed, they can't believe their eyes...

Be sure to turn off both lamps before removing the egg from the machine. Connect your imagination: it can be not only an egg and a chicken, but also an apple and a worm or something else.

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 ... >>

Human crises 25.02.2019

American scientists have named the most depressive age in a person's life, when the feeling of loneliness is especially developed.

Researchers at the University of California conducted an experiment in which they observed volunteers. They managed to find out that almost every person goes through a period when life is not sweet. It is during this period that the feeling of loneliness and mood swings are especially pronounced.

After a series of observations, they accurately determined that the age of 25 to 30 is considered the most critical age. It is during this period that many people think about the correctness of their choice and the future in general.

The second crisis period is 50 years. Here, too, it is easy to explain why a person falls into depression. He has grown children and started families of his own. At the age of 50, a person begins to feel the bitterness of disappointment and regret - unfulfilled dreams, unjustified hopes, fear of old age, concern about health.

And finally, scientists call 80 years the third depressive age. No longer old age, but decrepitude, poor health, loss of loved ones. A constantly depressed state simply hits the body and greatly depletes the immune system.
