Focus Description:

There are five glasses on the illusion table. The smallest of them is the size of a glass, and the largest is 0,5 l (Fig. 11, A). The small glass is filled with milk, the rest are empty. But here the performer pours milk from a small glass into a second one. And although this glass is larger than the first, it is filled to the brim. Then the magician pours the milk from the second glass into the third. This glass is even larger, but it turns out to be full. The conjurer fills the fourth glass with the contents of the third glass, and from it he pours milk into the fifth, largest glass. But it also turns out to be complete.

Focus secret:

The secret of the focus is in the arrangement of the glasses. A small glass is the most common. Before demonstrating the trick, milk is poured into it. All other glasses are double-walled. They can be made from plexiglass, and if possible, ordered from a glass blower. Each subsequent glass should be larger than the previous one. When making them, you need to correctly calculate the volumes - this is the key to the success of the focus.

If you look at the glasses in a section, you can see the inner secret glasses that are filled with water in advance (Fig. 11, B). Through the double walls of the glasses, the audience will not see the water. Milk is poured into the first glass.

During the demonstration of the trick, milk from the first glass is poured into the wall of the second, filling it to the brim. Therefore, the volume of the wall of the second glass must correspond to the volume of the first glass. To fill the third glass, all the contents of the second (and milk and water) are poured into the wall of the third glass. The volume of this pier should be equal to the volume of the second glass. Then the contents of the third glass are poured into the wall of the fourth, and so on.

Focus can also be shown in reverse order. To do this, the contents of a large, fifth glass are poured into the walls of the fourth, third, second and into the first glass.

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 ... >>

Maritime law in doubt 18.08.2012

In a shipwreck, women and children are the first to be rescued, and the captain is the last to get off the sinking ship, right? This was doubted by Swedish sociologists, who analyzed data on the survivors and those who died in shipwrecks from 1852 to 2011.

18 of the most famous disasters over these 160 years are taken into account, from the crash of the English ship "Birkenhead" in the Indian Ocean to the death of the "Bulgaria" on the Volga. According to Swedish sociologists, the captain and crew in case of accidents are 18,7% more likely to survive than passengers.

In the 18 shipwrecks examined, only 17,8% of women and 34,5% of men survived. Three of the 18 crashes killed all the women on board. The case of the Titanic stands out from these statistics, as Captain Edward Smith threatened to shoot those who did not let children and women into the boats first. Therefore, in the famous disaster, 73,3% of women, 50,4% of children and only 20,7% of men survived. The captain himself went to the bottom with his ship.
