Focus Description:

Open three postcards. Pictures look in one direction. Flip the last two cards upside down. The middle picture remains. Now turn over all three cards. Pictures again look at the viewer. Put the postcards in your pocket. Then, as if realizing that they did not complete the trick, pick them up again. Now turn the middle postcard over, the pictures are visible only on the outermost postcards. If you turn all the cards the other way, the pictures will appear on all three.

Focus secret:

For the demonstration, you need three double postcards (glued with pictures outward) and three other, most ordinary ones. All postcards are the same.

Focus Wayward Postcards

For the first part of the trick, two ordinary postcards are taken, which are turned over (extreme). Middle - with pictures on both sides. The other three secret postcards are in the pocket.

The termination of the focus and the continuation of its display are done in order to replace one postcard with another in front of everyone. Now two glued postcards (extreme) and one regular one (in the center) are taken. And everything repeats, only now the middle postcard turns first.

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 ... >>

Aviation fuel from soybean oil 04.12.2021

Biofuel blends are one way the aviation industry is reducing its carbon footprint, or overall greenhouse gas emissions, especially carbon dioxide. Scientists at the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) in Peoria, Illinois have figured out how to make quality jet fuel from soybean oil.

The fatty acids found in soybean oil can be converted into a range of industrial products typically derived from petroleum, such as fuels, inks or paints. One of the benefits of plant foods is that they recycle atmospheric carbon. This makes plants a renewable resource, unlike oil or other fossil fuels, which, on the contrary, add carbon to the atmosphere.

However, the current soy jet fuel contains an insufficient amount of "aromatic" compounds, which give it the necessary density, elasticity and proper operation of engine seals. Because of this, it can be less blended with conventional petroleum-derived jet fuel, explained Ken Doll, a research chemist at the National Center for Agricultural Use Research.

Biofuel blends are one way the aviation industry is reducing its carbon footprint, or overall greenhouse gas emissions, especially carbon dioxide.

One way to make soy jet fuel uses ruthenium as a catalyst to change the structure and properties of the unsaturated fatty acids in the oil. However, the problem with this method is that it creates too few aromatic compounds. So the ARS chemists replaced ruthenium with iridium as the main catalyst in a six-step fuel-making process, for which they received a patent in November.

In laboratory experiments, this approach has resulted in soybean oil containing 8 to 35 percent aromatic hydrocarbons, a range compatible with conventional jet fuel.

The new discovery makes possible a much wider use of blends of biofuels and conventional jet fuel to reduce emissions. It also produces far less naphthalene, a component of jet fuel that releases soot when burned. The researchers are now looking for an industry partner to expand the project and further evaluate its commercial potential. Ideally, the valuable rare earth element iridium could be replaced by a cheaper catalyst, perhaps even iron.

Soybean oil was originally chosen for its high quality and availability, but any oil with a high oleic acid content, such as watercress, will work.
