Focus Description:

This trick is a continuation of the previous one, flying card.

Putting the deck from which the cards flew out, the performer takes another from the table. At first I wanted to shuffle, but changed my mind and decided to just look at the cards. Holding the deck from below with one hand, the performer folded its upper part with his right hand somewhat back and began to skip one card at a time from under the thumb pad. It is clearly seen that the cards are the most ordinary (Fig. 81, A).

Kings, queens, aces, jacks are full of bright colors. But here the performer took a white sheet of paper of the same format as the cards, and put it first in the deck. Then he took the cards, holding the lower part of the deck, and again, bending the upper part back with his right hand, passed the cards one at a time. And instead of colorful card images, the audience saw only the white sides of the cards, on which there was not a single "picture". They disappeared without a trace. The performer takes out a piece of paper from the deck and again passes it all over one card from under the thumb pad of his right hand. The cards again took on their original color and became full of colors, replacing each other.

Focus secret:

Again, as props, an unchanged deck of cards with the addition of as many white sheets of paper of the same format. A deck of cards is kept secret with the help of these white sheets, which are laid between the main cards and glued to them. The first pad is between the first and second cards. It is glued with its upper edge to the upper edge of the first card from the side of the "shirt", and its lower edge is glued to the lower edge of the second card already from the side of the "picture" (Fig. 81, B). The rest of the white spacers are glued in the same sequence. If you push two such cards, glued together with a white spacer, they will look like the letter "I". And the whole deck as a whole will look like a jagged fence, consisting of the letters "L", interconnected at the bottom (Fig. 81, B).

If you fold this deck of cards and, holding it from below with one hand, pass the upper part of the deck one card at a time from under the pad of your right thumb, then the audience will see cards with a colorful image of "pictures". Turning the deck the other way around and doing the same combination with the cards, the audience will see only white cards instead of "pictures".

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 ... >>

New carbon capture system 16.12.2019

A significant part of carbon dioxide emissions comes from transport, in Europe almost 40% from trucks. Researchers from the Federal Polytechnic School of Lausanne (EPFL) have presented a new concept that will reduce emissions by 90%.

Scientists propose to capture carbon dioxide emitted from the exhaust pipe of a truck and convert it into liquid carbon dioxide, which is stored in a special tank on the roof of the car. This carbon dioxide can then be transported to a service station where it can be reused, such as converted into conventional fuel.

Carbon dioxide capture occurs by pre-cooling the exhaust gases. A special absorbent material developed at EPFL can separate CO2 from nitrogen and oxygen. It is heated to extract carbon dioxide, and the heat from the car's engine is used to compress it and turn it into a liquid. This system is more suitable for large vehicles such as trucks or buses, since the structure itself is quite bulky and contains a capsule 2 m long and weighing approximately 7% of the total load of the truck. However, researchers estimate that up to 90% of carbon dioxide emissions can be recycled in this way.

At the moment, the system is only a concept, and, according to researchers, it will take several years to implement it. The next step is to develop a prototype to test this concept in practice.
