Focus Description:
There are many other magic tricks that use the principle of letter-by-letter pronunciation of words. Such, for example, is the "color map". Its front side is shown in the figure:
The spectator conceives a flower, and the demonstrator begins to touch the holes with a pencil. At each touch, the spectator silently calls out one letter from the name of the selected flower and says aloud: "stop" when his word is exhausted. The pencil is inserted into the last affected hole and the card is turned over. Its tip will protrude just where the name of the intended flower is printed.
Focus secret:
The first touch is made at the top hole ("night violet"), then the holes are bypassed on the back of the card through one clockwise (counterclockwise on the front side).

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 ... >>
Random news from the Archive The Pilot headphones translate in real time
31.05.2016
Waverly Labs has developed an in-ear earphone that can translate foreign languages in real time using a companion smartphone app. So to speak, a virtual translator will sit right in your ear and help you perceive foreign speech.
Headphones from Waverly Labs are called "The Pilot" and will cost about $300. On May 25, fundraising for the project on the Indiegogo crowdfunding platform should begin, and the first copies should reach buyers in the spring of 2017.
First, in addition to English, the main languages of the Romano-Germanic group will be available. Then the list will be expanded with Slavic and Asian languages, as well as Hindi.
