Focus Description:

Take a stack of cards in one hand. Pass the pen to the same hand on the side opposite to the audience. The pen itself will begin to sign postcards. Viewers will clearly see how it slides back and forth across the paper. While the pen continues to sign the cards, pull them out one by one and present them to the audience, throwing them directly into the audience.

Focus secret:

The secret of the trick is in a semi-ring made of tin, with a rim for the handle attached on top. It is put on the end of the thumb of the left hand in advance. Take a stack of postcards with autographs already pre-written in pen and turn them with pictures towards the audience.

Focus Pen

Hold them so that your thumb is on the inside, not visible to the audience, and all the others are on the outside. These fingers will just hold the cards in a stable position. Passing the pen to your left hand, insert its end into the rim.

Run your finger over the cards, making sure the pen is always in a vertical position. These movements of the handle along its other end moving back and forth will be clearly visible to the audience. It will seem to them that the pen itself somehow writes autographs on postcards.

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 ... >>

solar tandem 18.02.2016

A two-layer solar cell can turn up to 30% of the energy of sunlight into electricity.

Flexible solar cells do not need expensive silicon crystal substrates - they are printed on plastic film or metal foil. The price turns out to be lower, and the scope - due to flexibility - is larger. However, the efficiency of such batteries barely reaches 10% - not enough compared to 25%, which is reliably given by commercially produced silicon cells. Researchers at the EMPA International Center headquartered in Switzerland have tried to improve efficiency by applying a two-layer coating to absorb light.

A semiconductor's ability to convert light into electricity is limited by its band gap. If the energy of the light quantum is less, there will be no current. If more - excess energy will go into heat. By capturing the more energetic violet-yellow quanta in one layer, and the less energetic red and infrared quanta in another, it will be possible to more fully utilize the light of the sun.

To capture violet-yellow quanta, EMPA engineers synthesized a thin layer of methylammonium lead iodide in the form of small crystals with a perovskite lattice. Perovskites have long attracted the attention of solar power engineers, but due to the fact that their crystals grow poorly, it was not possible to achieve a result that would allow them to think about introducing them into production. Now the intermediate organic layer built on the basis of C61 fullerenes helped. The perovskite layer on it turned out to be not only durable and flexible, but also transparent, transmitting the red part of the spectrum.

It is utilized by the second semiconductor layer - copper-indium-gallium diselenide; the best sample showed an efficiency of 20,5%. Now the authors of the work, led by Aedhya Tiari, intend to improve the technology and achieve the 30% efficiency that follows from the calculation for such solar cells. The main highlight of the technology is that the perovskite layer is applied at a temperature of only 50°C, which allows the use of an organic intermediate layer.
