Focus Description:
Place a liter plastic bottle full of water on the table. Then toss a few mothballs or camphor balls (used to protect clothing from moths) into the bottle and they mysteriously begin to float up and down in the water column. This can go on almost indefinitely and looks very entertaining.
Focus secret:
The secret of the trick is that "water" is not really water at all. This is a chemical preparation, which only you yourself will know about.
You need to take four teaspoons of baking soda and four teaspoons of citric acid crystals and mix them together in a large mug.
Pour this mixture with a liter of water; within a minute or so it will foam and sizzle. When the foam settles, pour the "water" into a liter bottle. Now all you have to do is toss balls into this "water" bottle and watch the effect.

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 A supercapacitor that stretches eight times
28.03.2020
Employees of Michigan State University and Duke University have invented a special capacitor. The device is unique in that after repeated stretching it retains its functionality.
The invention of American scientists differs from the standard battery in several ways. So, the device has the ability to store energy due to the separation of charges and cannot create its own electricity. The supercapacitor must be charged by another external device.
In addition, an elastic supercapacitor is capable of delivering energy in the form of short-term, but powerful bursts, rather than a continuous flow. Another difference between the device and the battery is its faster charging.
