Gluing a glass to a fist. Focus Secret

Directory / Spectacular tricks and their clues

Focus Description:

Show your hands - they are empty. Then take an empty bottle or glass from the table, clench one hand into a fist, bring the glass to it. The glass is glued, hanging on the fist.

Focus secret:

This trick requires careful rehearsal, although the secret is simple. Turn your left hand with your palm facing the viewer and clench it into a fist so that the viewer can see him. With your right hand, bring a glass to your fist. When there is 15-20 cm left to the fist, simulate the "magnetization" of the glass. Put the glass to the fist of the left hand and turn the left hand to the right so that the outer part of the hand is facing the viewer, and the palm with the glass is away from the viewer. Press the glass with the little finger of the left hand to the fist and sharply lower the right hand. It will seem to the viewer that the glass is "glued" to the fist.

Again, take the glass with your right hand, put your little finger into a fist, turn your left hand to the left - with the glass towards the viewer - and with "effort" tear the glass away from the fist. When performing this trick, you need to ensure that no one is standing behind you. Rehearse the moment with the little finger in front of the mirror so that the interception of the glass from one hand to the other is not visible and the movement of the finger is not noticeable.

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 ... >>

Controlling lightning with a laser beam 23.01.2023

Lightning is one of nature's most energetic phenomena, releasing millions of volts in a fraction of a second, which can be devastating - power outages, fires, injury and even death.

For a long time, the best way to protect yourself from lightning was considered a lightning rod - a huge metal stick attached to the tallest building. This simple design essentially draws electricity and guides it safely into the ground. However, one of the problems is that such lightning rods have a limited range - for example, a 10-meter lightning rod can only protect an area with a radius of 10 meters around it. That is, to protect a large building or airport, a giant lightning rod would actually be required. But it looks like scientists have found a way.

Physicist Aurélien Houart of the Applied Optics Laboratory at the French National Center for Scientific Research in Paris and his colleagues endured hours of thunderstorm activity to test whether a laser could deflect lightning strikes away from critical infrastructure.

The researchers demonstrated the operation of a new, more efficient system - in fact, scientists have learned how to deflect lightning discharges using a powerful laser aimed at the sky.

According to study author Jean-Pierre Wolf, a laser lightning rod is a laser beam aimed at clouds during a storm - thus it paves the path of least resistance for the passage of electricity. Moreover, a laser beam can extend much further than a lightning rod, and therefore protect a large area.

The scientists explain that when high-power laser pulses are emitted into the atmosphere, filaments of very intense light are formed inside the beam. They permeate the nitrogen and oxygen molecules that are present in the air, which in turn release free electrons to move. As a result, ionized air, which is also called "plasma", becomes an electrical conductor.

To demonstrate their concept, the scientists developed a laser system with an average power of 1 kW and pulsing about a thousand times per second, releasing 1 joule of energy per pulse.

The laser system was installed on top of Zentis, which is the highest mountain in the Swiss Alps. Scientists note that the laser was installed next to the tower, which annually attracts about a hundred lightning strikes.

The researchers note that the laser was aimed at the sky near the top of the tower - the main purpose was to try to attract lightning to the beam before it reached the tower's usual lightning rod. During the testing period, scientists recorded four lightning strikes.
