Focus Description:

This is a trick in which touching objects is accompanied by the letter-by-letter pronunciation of numbers. It is shown on six small, painted in different colors, square plates, each of which shows a number:

Focus with six squares

The plates are laid out on the table with numbers down.

The magician turns away, and the viewer at this time lifts one plate, looks at the number, and then mixes it with the rest. Now the demonstrator turns to the table and begins to touch the plates with a pencil. The spectator at this time pronounces his number to himself letter by letter, so that for each touch there is one letter. When all the letters of the observed number are exhausted, he says: "stop." The plate on which the pencil has stopped is turned over, and it turns out that it just has the intended number.

Focus secret:

The first six touches are done in random order. The next six are in the following sequence: 101, 42, 45, 13, 16, 19. It will not be difficult for the demonstrator to follow this order, remembering the corresponding sequence of colors. Of course, this trick is obtained due to the fact that the entry for the number 101 (one hundred and one) contains seven letters, and the entry for each of the following numbers contains one letter more.

You can independently make a series of such plates from cardboard or plastic.

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 ... >>

Greenhouse vodka 03.06.2022

The American Air Company introduced a vodka called Air Vodka made from captured carbon dioxide. Another component of the drink is water. This is just one of several new products that use CO2 emissions that can be captured in various industries.

“We have partners that we work with. They capture carbon dioxide before it goes into the atmosphere. We then use that carbon dioxide in the process of creating alcohol. With every bottle we make, carbon dioxide that would have been released is removed into the atmosphere and I think it's very good for our planet," says Gregory Constantine, co-founder of the Air Company.

The production of alcoholic beverages in the traditional way leads to the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. American scientists have found that the production of one bottle of alcohol with a volume of 0,75 liters leads to the release of approximately 3 kg of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Creating vodka in the traditional way not only results in emissions, but also requires a lot of water - about 35 liters per liter of distillate. At the same time, Air Vodka contains only two components: carbon dioxide and water. According to Konstantin, much less water is needed to produce this vodka.

An alcoholic drink is produced by separating hydrogen and oxygen from water using electrolysis. The hydrogen, together with separately captured CO2, is then fed into a dedicated carbon recycling system. In this case, ethanol is formed, which, in combination with water, forms a kind of vodka.

But despite the environmental benefits of such "green" alcohol production, special vodka is not cheap - $ 65 per bottle, and therefore this drink can be attributed to luxury brands of alcohol.
