Which hand is the coin in? Focus Secret
Directory / Spectacular tricks and their clues
Comments on the article
Focus Description:
The magician asks someone to take a dime in one fist and a penny in the other. Then he suggests multiplying the numerical value of the coin in the right fist by eight (or any other even number), and the numerical value of the other coin by five (or any odd the number you want). By adding these two numbers, the viewer must say whether the number is even or odd. After that, the artist says which coin the viewer has in which hand.
Focus secret:
If the sum is even, then in the right hand - a penny; if odd - a dime.

Artificial leather for touch emulation
15.04.2024
In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>
Petgugu Global cat litter
15.04.2024
Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>
The attractiveness of caring men
14.04.2024
The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>
Random news from the Archive Power lines for green energy
02.02.2016
American scientists led by Alex MacDonald have developed a scheme for transmitting solar and wind energy through power lines domestically, which circumvents the problem of storing such energy and reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 80%.
Until now, the widespread use of green energy has been limited by the inconsistent nature of its production: the sun does not always shine, and the wind also blows. Therefore, the generated energy must be stored somewhere in order to be used later during periods of darkness or calm. Storing sufficiently large energy reserves requires complex and expensive equipment. An alternative option was to transfer energy from those areas where it is generated to those where this is not currently happening - however, until now it was believed that the design features and capabilities of existing electrical networks do not allow this.
And now McDonald and his colleagues have proven that with the help of new high-voltage direct current (HVDC, i.e. High-Voltage, Direct-Current) power lines, it is still possible to transfer green energy from one region of the country to another. Since the wind is always blowing in some part of the US, this will effectively provide (partly) the country with energy. In this case, it will no longer be necessary to store it.
The transfer of green energy from one area to another, according to NOAA experts, will be handled by a special computer program that will determine how to do it in the best way. Scientists have already created a working model of such a system and proved its effectiveness. In McDonald's model, the entire country was divided into 152 square meters, according to the number of district electricity networks.
Calculations have shown that with the introduction of this system, the United States will be able to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 2030% by 80 compared to 1990, without spending resources on solving the problem of storing "green" energy.
