Focus Description:

Spectators are curious people. All they need to know! So remember: there are tricks that are better not to show in close proximity to the audience, otherwise they will notice your manipulations. But there are also such tricks that, on the contrary, it is better to carry them out by inviting the person who wishes directly to the stage. From this focus will only be more entertaining.

That's the trick... Get the audience on stage and let them inspect the props. Jug and thick rope. Of course, he will not find anything special in them: they are the most ordinary.

Lower the string into the neck of the jug and slowly, very slowly turn it upside down. The rope hangs down from the jug and does not fall, as if fixed inside! Moreover, you can take hold of its free end and let go of the jug. And he won't fall!

For greater persuasiveness, shake the jug from side to side: hold on! Now turn the jug back to its original position and easily pull the rope out of the jug. Let the curious viewer look at the focus attributes again and ask them to do the same. Obviously, he won't be able to do anything.

Focus Strange jug

Focus secret:

The whole "trick" is to put in a jug a small cork or foam ball with a diameter slightly smaller than that of the neck.

When you turn the pitcher upside down, the ball rolls up to the neck and jams the rope. When the pitcher is in its normal position, it is worth loosening the rope, as the ball will fall down. After that, you can take out the rope and pass it to the viewer. At this point, remember to tilt the pitcher so that the ball rolls into your palm.

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 ... >>

Egg white from microbes 11.01.2022

Egg white is one of the most important and common additives in the food industry. But to obtain it, you need to breed, grow and care for a large number of chickens. This means that a significant amount of water is being used, agricultural land is expanding, threatening natural environments, and a lot of greenhouse gases are being released. And given that the world's population is growing, we can expect an increase in chicken farming, which will have an even greater negative impact on the environment. In addition to environmental concerns, intensive poultry farming threatens more frequent outbreaks of infections that can be transmitted from poultry to humans, such as bird flu.

Giving up egg white is not an option, so science is working to develop alternatives. It can be the use of genetically modified microbes, which forced the production of chicken egg protein - ovalbumin - by introducing the corresponding gene into the genome. For example, this has already been done with E. coli (Escherichia coli) and microscopic fungi Trichoderma reesei. However, there has been a reluctance to switch to industrial-scale production of microbial chicken protein due to the uncertainty that this option is more environmentally friendly and cost-effective compared to poultry farming.

A group of scientists from the University of Helsinki, the Finnish Center for Technology Research VTT and Solar Foods tried to understand the feasibility of replacing chicken eggs with microbes. The researchers began to compare the environmental impact of Trichoderma reesei producing a unit of ovalbumin on an industrial scale (100 kilograms) and obtaining the same amount of protein in the traditional way from chicken eggs. The calculations took into account land use, the required amount of water, the degree of soil oxidation, greenhouse gas emissions and other parameters. Since microbial food production relies heavily on electricity, the feasibility of the technology will vary in different countries, depending on their availability of electricity.

Comparison of microbial egg white production in different countries indicates that it is more environmentally profitable to use the technology with an increase in the share of renewable energy sources. Thus, the contribution of electricity to global warming potential under the scenario of Poland, which relies mainly on coal, was 34 percent, while under the scenario of Finland, which uses mainly nuclear power with a significant renewable contribution, the figure was only 2 percent.

Microbial technology can make egg whites more environmentally friendly than traditional poultry production. Microbial production of ovalbumin uses nearly 90 percent less land and has a 31-55 percent lower global warming potential.
