FABRICATION OF NANOFIBERS

PRODUCTION OF NANOFIBERSFound technological method of producing nanofibers.

Engineers from the University of North Carolina have modified a known method of manufacture of nanofibers, significantly increasing the speed of their output.

The process of forming fibers with a diameter of ~100-1 000 nm of polymer solutions is called elektrodrazenie. In the design of a typical setup for “spinning” stand out a pump that provides a continuous flow of liquid to a conducting needle, collecting plate and the high voltage source, generating a field between the needle tip and the plate. The solution is in contact with a metal needle, charged, and put into it the charges are accelerated by the electric field and involve in the movement of the surrounding substance, whereby the fluid is accelerated uniformly in the sky, in a thin stream. In the interelectrode gap, the solvent partially evaporates, and the stream turns into fiber, which is deposited on the plate and creates a porous layer.

FLUORESCENT LAMPS

FLUORESCENT LAMPFluorescent lamp — gas discharge light source in which visible light is emitted mainly by the phosphor, which, in turn, glows under the ultraviolet radiation of the discharge; the discharge also emits visible light, but to a much lesser extent. Luminous efficacy of a fluorescent lamp is several times greater than incandescent lamps of similar power. The lifetime of fluorescent lamps can exceed 20 times the life of incandescent lamps while ensuring sufficient quality of power supply, ballast, and compliance with restrictions on the number of on / off.

MIKROAVTO FOR TWO

MIKROAVTO FOR TWOFrame double machine, dubbed “mouse”, welded from thin steel tubes. Front axle (Fig. 3) assembled from beams, two eyes and swing units of the front wheels. Axle are the axle adapted to pivot the sleeve at an angle of 98 ° and welded to it. Pivot arm has a bend of sheet steel with thickness 1.5 mm; pivot bushing it is attached by welding at an angle of 110°. Ring tail joints at the ends of the swivel levers are cut from steel pipe ø 12 mm.

The pivot bushing is provided with bronze bearing liners, through which is passed a pin pivotally connecting the sleeve with the lug of the front axle.

Wheel — steel, turned. In each are placed on two bearings (202 and 201), closed Salnikova washers.

The hub is fixed on the axis of the axle nut. Between the bearings inserted spacer.

PIGGY FOR THE HARVEST

Compost storage of old barrelsEven if the fall was not very generous, still the outgoing summer leaves in the garden and in the garden after harvest a lot of vegetable waste. Some site owners try to get rid of them, just taking to the dump. A zealous owners know that the tops, the drops, trimming branches and foliage — all this could be for the following season, additional fertilizer and fertilizer for the new crop. So carefully raked-collect garden waste dumped in their allotted under this corner of the site and form a so-called compost heap, in which such accumulation will gradually pereplet and turn into nutritious organic fertilizer.

However, if the pile is to simply leave the heap — in the process of experiencing, they become loose and under the action of rain and wind to lose their shape, that is, creep away, taken away on the site. Why waste trying to lay in specially dug a compost pit or strive for them to build any fencing.
