Believe it or not, some plants can feel just like us, but even better, thanks to thigmotropism. Thigmotropism is a plant’s way of touching, or feeling. Thigmotropism is one of the tropisms, in which plants use to react with their environments. “Scientifically defined, it is the directional response of a plant organ to touch or physical contact with a solid object (1).” When a plant comes into contact with an object of a solid state, the response is to curl around it. “A Morning Glorie’s sense of…

Tesla died on January 7, 1943. He died at the age of 86 in New York City. He didn’t have any kids or a wife. Nikola Tesla’s inventions were he discovered the electric alternating current that is still used today. In 1891 Tesla invented the tesla coil. Tesla also invented the first working radio, fluorescent light bulb, invented the remote control, and made the first hydro electric generating plan at Niagara Falls. He worked with Thomas Edison in 1884 before they parted. They parted…

The Lakhovsky effect only happens when the coil (or bracelet) is open and made of copper. Closed loops don’t work. Georges Lakhovsky published the English version of The Secret of Life at the outbreak of World War II, and it went unnoticed with very little review, but Lakhovsky’s reputation for obtaining dramatic results with his futuristic Multi Wave Oscillator got the world’s attention nonetheless. By 1941, Lakhovsky emigrated to New York, escaping the Nazi occupation of France. In The Waves…

The Apache are an interesting Native American tribe. One interesting part of their culture is the baskets they create. The uses of their baskets, as well as their design and materials, are somewhat unique to them. While these baskets aren’t made anymore, they are still an interesting sight to behold. Most of the original baskets were made of willow sprouts, which are normally white. These willow sprouts were dried for use by the sun, creating its yellow color. Other materials included devilsclaw…

Let’s say a coil wound on an iron core. A current is applied and flux is produced. When the current is slowly increased and the values of B are plotted against H will us a B – H graph from 1 to 2 like in the diagram above. At point 2 more increase in current would…

What is perception? Perception is the process of recognizing and interpreting sensory stimuli. Perception can be defined as our recognition and interpretation of sensory information. Perception also includes how the response to this information. Perception can be thought of as a process where sensory information from the environment is taken in and that information is used in order to interact with our environment. Perception allows us to take the information in and make it into something…

contrast and signal to noise ratio with relative short scan times (Currie et al., 2013). A 6 element phased array body coil, which placed onto the patient, in conjunction with the spinal matrix coil that has a 12 element design built into the scanner table, are used to provide a superb signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and achievable spatial resolution (Currie et al., 2013). This phased-array coils are standard for cardiac imaging in the chosen department. These pulse sequences are supplemented with…

This phenomenon fascinated him to no end. From that day on, he dreamt of a world powered by this idea and wanted to change the world by providing it limitless power wirelessly. His initial attempt in creating wireless energy had been with his tesla coil. The device was able to recreate electrical arc that previously only had been replicated by lighting. Laboratories were able to conduct more…

Sealy Posturepedic: This mattress features super-strong titanium alloy coils in an exclusive design. It provides the perfect balance of soft comfort and deep support for a good night’s rest. Serta: Serta has been working with the National Sleep Foundation (NSF) to design a mattress to help solve five sleep problems such as…

In 1884 Nikola Tesla moved to New York to explore electrical principles at Edison Electric Light Company, but when he left to start his own company he encountered brutal competition with his rival, Thomas Edison. Tesla exchanged failure for success when he won the battle of the currents. In 1884 Nikola Tesla went to New York to work with Thomas Edison to discuss the Alternating and Direct current. Tesla told Edison that Direct current was not safe, and Edison said the Alternating current was…
