The magician says to his audience: “You see that the cards I use are very ordinary.” Offering them for consideration, he throws about 12 cards one after another into the most remote corners of the hall or theater. The card should be held lightly between the index and middle fingers, as shown in the figure.

Focus Throw a card into the hall

The hand should be bent inward towards the wrist and then straightened with a sharp movement, the whole arm at the same time making a quick forward motion. As a result of this movement, the card, leaving the hand, rotates in the plane of its surface in the direction indicated by the dotted line, and continues this rotation during its flight.

This motion makes the card's flight precise and straight, which would seem impossible for such a small and light object. An experienced magician can throw cards in this way over 18-25 meters, and each card will fly with the same accuracy and almost the same speed as an arrow fired from a bow.

Despite the apparent simplicity of this trick, it is quite difficult to learn. But the movement is so impressive that it is worth spending time on it.

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 ... >>

Wi-Fi standard up to 4,6 Gbps 16.10.2014

Samsung has improved the Wi-Fi 802.11ad wireless standard, setting a new speed record for this type of connection. The presented technology, for the functioning of which the 60 GHz band was used, allows you to download files at a speed five times higher than that of existing wireless networks.

According to a report on the Samsung website, the new Wi-Fi equipment is ready to provide data transfer at a speed of 575 MB / s (4,6 Gb / s), while all solutions available today are limited to a “modest” 108 MB / s.

“Our company has successfully overcome the barrier to commercialization of the 60 GHz frequency required to create innovative equipment capable of demonstrating the announced parameters. Now we hope for the commercialization and implementation of the announced technology,” the head of the R&D center of Samsung Electronics shared his vision of the situation.

At the same time, for the Wi-Fi 802.11ad 60 GHz channel, it does not matter at all how many devices are simultaneously connected to the network due to the elimination of co-channel interference. As a result, the declared nominal speed should not differ from the real one. And in order to avoid attenuation as much as possible, it is planned to install an antenna and modem with a coverage that exceeds modern standards, as well as use a unique beamforming technology. It will allow you to configure and adapt the signal of the module used in just 1/3000 of a second in case there are changes in communication conditions due to external factors.

As for the market launch of Wi-Fi 802.11ad, it should take place already in 2015. Samsung plans to implement proprietary technology in equipment of various classes. 4,6Gbps wireless connectivity can become an integral part of the Internet of Things, smart homes, medical and telecommunications equipment, and mobile devices.
