Focus Description:

For this trick, you will need a round metal candy box and beads. Remove the lid from the box.

How many beads are at the bottom of the box? Three? Wonderful. - Close it with a lid, turn it upside down. - Once! - Turn over again. - Two! - Turn over for the last time. - Three! How many beads were in the box? Three? Are you sure? Let's see. - Remove the lid from the box again. Instead of three, there will be six beads in the box. Close the box again. Turn it over three times - one, two, three - and open it again. Three beads again!

Focus secret:

The appearance of the lid of the box and the bottom of the box are indistinguishable from each other. All beads are the same. Three of them are ordinary, and three are glued to the lid of the box - from the inside of it, even before the focus begins. It is not by chance that the box is turned upside down three times. From this, viewers looking into the box you open, each time they see alternately the inside of the lid, then the inner cavity of the bottom. And that part of the box that is in your hand is not shown to the audience - it is always held with the inside down.

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 ... >>

Haymaking with a laser 17.04.2001

At the annual exhibition of garden equipment in Frankfurt am Main (Germany), everyone's attention was attracted by the prototype of the laser lawn mower "Zero", released by the company "Wolf Garten".

Four lasers cut the grass at a given level, maintaining the cutting height with an accuracy of one millimeter. The cut grass is then dried and ground inside the lawn mower into powder, which is immediately applied to the lawn soil along with mineral fertilizers. When the supply of fertilizer or gasoline runs out, the mower itself contacts suppliers via the Internet and places an order.

"Zero" means "zero": the developers wanted to emphasize that their offspring can cut grass "to zero", noise and waste are zero, wear on the cutting unit is zero, and the owner also has zero worries. But the German magazine "Der Spiegel", which told about the novelty, believes that the demand for these laser-Internet delights will be zero.
