Basement Masterpieces: Homemade Soviet Cars

Basement Masterpieces: Homemade Soviet Cars

It's not a secret for anyone that the auto production in the USSR was rather meager. Soviet machines were distinguished by their reliability, but they did not stand out much from the gray mass. That is why there were craftsmen on the territory of our vast homeland who created cars by hand in garages or even in apartments. Most of them had an authentic design and were not inferior in efficiency to foreign concept cars

A new reform of education to develop the erudition and intelligence of the child

I am almost 80 years old and I would like to see my achievements in the field of education, described in several of my books on new pedagogy, to be used after me. And to all my proposals sent to educational structures, they answered: "Reforms are in full swing." But the fact of the matter is that they follow the form, and not the content, in which the main pain point is the relationship between teachers and students, i.e. pedagogical ethics

Why colorize black and white films?

Why colorize black and white films?

It is generally accepted that sugar used to be sweeter, the grass was greener, and the girls were prettier. Also, many fondly remember how they watched black and white movies with their family and got great pleasure from it. "Beware of the Car", "17 Moments of Spring", "Only Old Men Go to Battle", "Height" … All these films were black and white, but everyone loved them. Now you can often stumble upon films of those times, but for some reason they became colored. There is a simple explanation for this - they were painted

Influence of ultrasound on animal and plant cells

Influence of ultrasound on animal and plant cells

Cavitation in the environment is the main reason for the destructive effect of ultrasound on microorganisms. If the formation of bubbles was suppressed by increasing the external pressure, then the destructive effect on protozoa decreased. The almost instantaneous rupture of objects in the ultrasound field was caused by air bubbles or carbon dioxide in plant cells trapped inside these organisms

Pitched pearls - an ancient decoration of Northern Russia

A salmon, swimming in the sea for several years, carries a pearl spark with it, and when it returns to the river, on a warm sunny day, it finds the most beautiful open shell at the bottom and gently lowers a pearl drop into it, from which the pearl subsequently grows

Catching up with warmth

Catching up with warmth

The author tells with great humor how we are fed from childhood with science-like fairy tales. The simplest things, instead of a sensible explanation, are presented by scientists as religious dogmas. For example, academic masters did not recognize Lomonosov's rightness - they wisely kept a deathly silence. “On the case, we have nothing to argue,” they figured. "But it can't be that we are all fools, and he alone is a genius."
