Directory / Spectacular tricks and their clues

Focus Description:

In your hands you have two unburned candles. Show them to the audience. After that, for a moment connect them together with wicks, say "spell". Smoke will appear above them, followed by a light. Spread the candles in different directions - to the surprise of the audience, they ignited by themselves.

Focus secret:

Two real (same size) candles are prepared in advance. The end of the wick of one of them is sprinkled with potassium permanganate powder, the other is impregnated with liquid glycerin (2 or 3 drops are enough). Care must be taken to use glycerin and potassium permanganate. If such wicks are connected, wait a short pause until a reaction occurs, both candles will be burning. Just keep candles away from your face, clothing, and other flammable objects.

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 ... >>

We drown or we don't drown 13.10.2011

In the world, 146 million people live no higher than a meter above sea level. They cannot but be interested in forecasts of how much this level will rise due to global warming. The problem is dealt with by the UN Intergovernmental Committee on Climate Change, which includes 18 scientists from 10 countries. His latest report says that by the end of this century, the level of the oceans will rise by 59 centimeters.

However, for example, James Hansen, a NASA climatologist, believes that the growth could be five meters. Other experts object: even with a strong warming, the ice in the Arctic and Antarctic simply will not be able to melt at such a speed. According to French data, there have been periods of accelerated sea level rise over the past century, but these have been followed by times of slow rise.

German experts say that in the last eight years the rise has just slowed down. Based on global temperature data since 1880, Finnish climatologists estimate that by 2100 sea levels are expected to rise by 190 centimeters.

And the German paleontologist Anton Eisenhower reports that coral reefs, which now rise six meters above the water, were underwater 125 years ago. The climate then was much warmer than now. In short, the prospects are unclear even to specialists.
