Focus Description:

The match magically moves.

Focus secret:

Two boxes of matches are used. Take one match out of one and tuck it under the box, as is sometimes done with a burnt match.

Then pull the drawer out a little. In the second box, also make a secret in advance - glue a paper bottom to one side of the case and also pull the drawer out of the box in front of the focus.

Focus Moving match

Place both boxes on the table, with the “secrets” facing you. Then, taking the first one, completely pull out the box of matches from it and at the same time leave the unnoticed match inside the case, pressing it with your thumb. Carefully place the case on the table vertically so that the match does not make a sound as it moves. Also remove the box of matches from the second box, and place the box upside down on the table. Now put two matches into the first case (together with the match put in there in advance, there will be three), which the audience will not realize.

Place one match in the second case. If you now lift both cases up at the same time, then three matches will fall out of the first, and nothing from the second. The match will remain inside thanks to the secret bottom, and the audience will think that the match has moved.

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 ... >>

Monitor Iiyama ProLite X3291HS 14.12.2015

Iiyama has expanded its family of monitors with the ProLite X3291HS model, which has a diagonal of 31,5 inches: sales of new items will start in the near future.

The novelty is made on the AH-IPS matrix. The resolution is 1920 x 1080 pixels, which corresponds to the Full HD format. Response time - 5 ms.

The panel has a brightness of 250 cd / m2, a contrast ratio of 1000:1 (dynamic contrast ratio reaches 12:000). The horizontal and vertical viewing angles are 000 degrees.

Blue Light Reducer technology reduces blue light intensity. This reduces the load on the visual apparatus and reduces eye fatigue. In addition, the panel boasts no flicker.

To connect signal sources, an analog D-Sub connector, digital DVI and HDMI interfaces are provided. There are 3-watt stereo speakers. Dimensions are 737,5 x 240 x 523,5 mm, weight - 7 kg.

It will be possible to buy a novelty at an estimated price of $ 320.
