Focus Description:

The magician shows the audience a large silk scarf. Then he puts it on his right hand, and with his left he takes it by the end and slowly lifts it up. The audience sees that the scarf is already on the hand, as if balancing. The magician lets go of its upper end, but it still does not fall. After taking a few steps across the stage, the magician blows on the handkerchief, and it slowly falls into his right hand.

Focus The handkerchief stands and the hand

Focus secret:

The secret of the trick is in the thin cord that is sewn into the scarf. Pull out the inner grain threads from the lace. Inside the braid, place wooden muffs, each with a diameter of 5-7 mm and a length of 20-25 mm, turned on a lathe. Pass a fishing line with a diameter of 0,7-0,8 mm through them. Sew up the upper end of the lace. To prevent the muffs from jumping out of the lace, tie two small buttons to the ends of the fishing line. When the line is not tensioned, the sleeves should not prevent the lace from bending. But if you pull hard on the bottom button, the lace should become stiff.

And now about the scarf. You will need a double silk scarf measuring 80x80 cm. Thread a cord with muffs inside it diagonally and secure its lower end in one of the corners.

And now you are on stage. Show the audience the scarf from one side to the other. Once again, so that the audience can be convinced that there is nothing in it. Then take it by the corner and place it in a vertical position. Use your right hand to pull the line taut. Release the top end - and the scarf stands. Hold it in this position. It is enough then to release the bottom button - and the scarf falls into your hand.

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 ... >>

Polymer piezoelectric 21.11.2011

The piezoelectric effect in a polymer is ten times greater than in the best ceramics.

“Together with colleagues from the Technical University of Aachen, we conducted a fundamental study of the properties of polymers,” says Folker Urban from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory of the US Department of Energy, “and at first they did not pay attention to the fact that one of the polymers reacts to an electric field. But then they took a closer look and found that this is a real piezoelectric effect, and a huge one - ten times stronger than that of crystals or ceramics. But until now it was believed that such an effect does not occur in non-polar polymers.

As detailed examination showed, it was a disopolymer, namely poly(styrene-b-isoprene). In this material, there is a balance between the repulsion of different parts of the polymer and the elasticity of rubber. The electric field turned out to be the third force that shifts the balance and reversibly changes the size of the product made of this material.

The discovery of such a strong effect in a polymer opens up broad new prospects for the creation of all kinds of electromechanical drives, mechanical generators, and energy storage devices.
