Focus Description:

Allakazam's top hat is a stylized and improved version of Quadratures of a circle. Since the secret lies only in applying the principles you are already familiar with, we will limit ourselves to discussing the options associated with this particular solution.

Note. For the allakazama hat-cylinder focus, all elements must be larger than in the standard device of squaring the circle, which allows you to work with larger objects and animals.

Focus secret:

A. In Allakazam's Cylinder Hat device, the circle was constructed in the form of a magic cylinder hat, the brim of which goes beyond the Square. The square was changed: instead of slits, two adjacent drop-down doors were made with a large opening decorated with stars. The angle between these doors became the front part of the Square, facing the hall, which provided a good view of the Hat - a cylinder placed in the Quadrature of the circle.

B. The secret chamber is located in the Hat (Circle), as in the classic version, but the Square is made in the form of a folding screen on a hinge mounted at the back. Thanks to the hinge, the Square can be opened and removed from under the brim of the Hat, which prevents it from being removed straight up, as in the classic version.

1. To show the Square to the public, you simply open it on a hinge and remove it from the Hat back and up. Then show it to the audience from all sides.

2. Place a Square enclosing the Hat. Then grasp the brim of the Hat with both hands. Lift the Hat up and show that it is empty (The Hidden Chamber remains in the Square as before.)

3. With the Hat squared again, continue with the presentation as described in the classic version. Note. The little work you have to do to make a "special" version of the device not only allows you to create a prop that looks professional and has a lot more covert space, but also allows you to demonstrate the most famous trick - the appearance of a rabbit from a top hat.

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 ... >>

Look into the eyes of the phone 11.07.2003

It is about the appearance of machines that will understand human facial expressions and be controlled by it.

When the phone rings at the Human Communications Lab at Kingston University, Canada, the plush animal on the table next to the machine blinks and rolls its eyes. If the person sitting at the table breaks away from work and looks the little animal in the eyes, it will turn on the telephone, if not, the answering machine will work.

There are already cameras that focus on exactly the subject that the photographer is looking at. Canadian engineers propose to build similar systems into computers, mobile phones, voice recorders and other devices with which a person interacts.

The laboratory has created a table lamp that performs the verbal commands "Light up!" and "Extinguish!" only when the owner looks at her. That is, these words can be fearlessly used in a conversation, if it is not about a lamp.
