Focus Description:

The wand sticks to the magician's hands.

Focus secret:

To perform this trick, in addition to the “magic wand,” you will also need an inconspicuous thin thread (it is 5 cm longer than the wand) and two buttons. One end of the thread must be tied to a button and inserted into the end of the stick. Its other end must be tied to the second button, the thread must be pulled along the stick, and the button must be inserted into the second end of the stick.

Focus Magnetic Stick

The thread forms a loop running along the stick. When performing this trick, you can talk to the audience about magnetism, one of the properties of which you are going to demonstrate.

Hold the wand in front of you. Gradually move your hands to the ends of the stick, spread your fingers apart so that the thread is taut and the stick is pressed against your palms. A slight tilt of the hand - once or twice - and the wand seemed to stick to the palms. After showing the palms with the wand to the audience, pass the thread between the thumb and forefinger of the right hand, and place the middle finger on the wand.

Hold the other end of the stick with your left hand. Next, turn your right hand towards the audience. A thread hooked through the index and middle fingers holds the stick in the position shown in the lower left picture. Now you should swing the stick to the right and down until it begins to swing almost along the “up and down” trajectory.

To the audience, it will appear that the wand is attached to your middle finger. Next, begin to slowly raise your right hand until the stick is in the position shown in the figure.

After that, turn to the audience and use your left hand to place the wand so that it seems to the audience that it is moving directly from your palm. Then put your left hand through the loop of thread with your palm facing you. Rotate the wand so that it takes its new position. If you now begin to rotate the wand, it will appear to the audience as if it were glued to the backs of your hands.

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 ... >>

The energy of an electron entering water was measured 11.02.2018

Employees of several US research organizations have improved methods for calculating the energy released when an electron hits liquid water. Based on them, they obtained the most accurate estimate of this quantity at the moment. This information will help in the study of chemical reactions occurring in the aquatic environment.

Getting into the water, the electron is captured by it and after some time begins to participate in the chemical reactions taking place in it (in fact, they all represent the transfer of electrons from one molecule to another). This releases some energy. In previous studies, it has tended to be determined largely theoretically. At the same time, computer simulation of the reactions of interaction of electrons with water molecules required large computing power. And the experimental data were extremely incomplete due to the difficulty of measuring this parameter.

The authors of the article under discussion improved the algorithms for calculating the interaction energy of an electron entering water with its molecules and applied new computer models for calculations, and also used some new experimental methods for determining this energy. So they found out that it depends on where the electron falls - into the surface layer of water or into its thickness. In the first case, the energy is 0,8 electron volts, in the second it is noticeably less - from 0,1 to 0,3 electron volts. These values are significantly different from those obtained earlier, in connection with which researchers critically review the existing concepts for their calculation.

The information obtained during the study will help to better understand the dynamics of chemical reactions occurring in the aquatic environment. Water dissolves a huge variety of substances, and most of the studied reactions take place in it. Knowledge of their mechanisms is needed not only for chemical production, but also for biology: almost all chemical processes in living systems take place in liquid water.
