Directory / Spectacular tricks and their clues

Focus Description:

In a transparent glass - water. Dip the spoon into it with the handle down, then try to take it out ... What is it? The glass, as if glued, rises with the spoon, it hangs in the air and does not fall. The spoon seemed to stick to the liquid.

Focus Wayward glass

Focus secret:

There are two tiny holes in the center of the plastic cup on two opposite sides. A thin fishing line is threaded through them, it is stretched and fixed on the outside of the glass. It is possible in another way: you just need to glue the fishing line along the diameter. There is a small oblique burr on the aluminum spoon.

Showing the trick, hook the burr on the spoon to the fishing line. Feel free to lift and hold the whole glass with this miracle spoon. The water will keep the glass from swinging.

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 ... >>

LED traffic light 29.05.2003

But on US roads, a traffic light with a single lens with a diameter of 30 cm is being tested. The light source is an LED matrix that can display signals of different colors and shapes.

The green signal is a regular circle, yellow is a downward facing triangle, and red is an octagon with a thin white border. Different shapes allow you to quickly understand the signal, even for color blind people.

The traffic light can also display a green arrow on its screen indicating the direction of movement. Ready for production and portable version on a tripod for installation in road worksites.
