Focus Description:

When skillfully performed, this trick has a great effect.

The performer, showing number after number, uses the same "magic" wand. Finally, he asks someone from the audience to hold her for a minute. After that, he takes the wand back and touches it to the head of one of the spectators - a fountain suddenly starts to beat from it (Fig. 37). To the spectators, sitting on the side, it seems that the fountain beats out of their heads.

Props:

"Magic", specially prepared wand.

Focus secret:

The secret lies in a special device, consisting of a thin tube, which is embedded in a stick and ends on one side with a primus nipple (from which the fountain beats), and on the other with a rubber balloon (a pear from a spray gun). Balloon pear can hold about 150g of water; this is quite enough to reproduce the fountains several times. The magician, taking a wand, must hide a pear in the palm of his hand. To prevent the audience from noticing the balloon, the wand must be held simply and naturally. On fig. 37, A shows the end of the inner stick tube with a nipple at the end, in fig. 37, B - the end of the same tube with a balloon attached to it.

Another device is also possible: the balloon is placed under the armpit of the hand, and a thin rubber hose comes from it, ending with a metal tip, which is inserted into the wand at the right moment. This method is more complicated.

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 ... >>

martian cities 16.09.2013

The huge Martian crater Aram Chaos was formed as a result of the catastrophic melting of ice and the outflow of water from an ice-bound lake.

A new study by scientists from the University of Utrecht and Jacobs University Bremen has shown that the 280 km diameter and 4 km deep Aram Chaos crater's enigmatic relief was formed by the outflow of hundreds of thousands of cubic kilometers of water. In just about 1 month, liquid water, with a volume 4 times the volume of the waters of Lake Baikal, cut through a large valley 10 km wide and 2 km deep in the Martian surface. A heap of rocks remains in the Aram Chaos crater itself, but scientists believe that large reserves of water ice could still remain in the former giant water reservoir, which in the future can be used to supply the Martian settlement.

The Aram Chaos crater has long been of interest to scientists. The ancient impact crater has an unusually uneven bottom, "littered" with large pieces of rocks. Real chaos is going on inside and outside the crater: rugged terrain, which seems to have been plowed with giant plows and sown with boulders. Until now, scientists did not understand what exactly is causing this picture, but the results of the latest study, based on satellite observations and computer simulations, show that there was a real "water explosion" on Mars.

About 3,5 billion years ago, the then still intact impact crater Aram Chaos was filled with water ice, covered with a 2-km layer of rocks. A layer of ice, covered with a blanket of sand and stones, has been melting for millions of years under the influence of heat generated by the bowels of the planet. When there was too much water, the walls of the crater could not stand it and collapsed. The released water, hundreds of thousands of cubic kilometers, forever changed the terrain.

The most intriguing suggestion is that unmelted ice may still be present in various Martian craters, including the Aram Chaos crater. These vaults of ice are evidence that the once-aquatic planet has rapidly degenerated into a frozen cold world. On the other hand, craters with large reserves of ice can be an excellent place for the construction of future Martian settlements.
