How to extinguish a candle with a glance? Focus Secret

Directory / Spectacular tricks and their clues

Focus Description:

Take a candle and matches. Put it on the table, light it up. With the words: "I can extinguish a candle with a glance!" move a considerable distance, close your eyes for a moment, as if you are transmitting energy. After a few moments, the candle will go out on its own.

Focus secret:

The candle in question is real, paraffin. It goes out because of the silicate glue, a few drops of which are pre-applied into a tiny hole on its surface, at the very base of the centimeter wick. The length of the wick makes it possible to calmly move away from the candle and give the appropriate command from there. To lengthen the wick to the desired size, use a knife to cut off excess paraffin from the top of the candle.

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 ... >>

Smart bike pedal 12.05.2015

French start-up Connected Cycle today announced that a fundraising campaign for their Connected Cycle pedal project has been launched on the Indiegogo crowdfunding platform and raised the required $50,000 on the first day.

"Smart Pedal" will turn every bike into a "smart bike". Powered by pedaling, the system gives the owner the ability to know where their bike is and, thanks to built-in GNSS sensors and network connections, acts as a fitness tracker, recording speed, route, incline and calories burned for each ride. All this data is stored in a synchronized application that allows you to track your activity level over time.

This information is stored in the pedals themselves - so you don't need a smartphone to access it. However, the device is connected to the cloud and mobile applications.

Connected Cycle also offers B2B fleet management systems for bike rental companies.

Installing the device takes two minutes and does not require special skills. The pedal can only be removed using a special coded key, which will be available to the owner and no one else.
