Electric Battery Uses in Ancient India

The ancient text of Agastya Samhita describes the method of making electric battery, and that water can be split into oxygen and hydrogen.dry electric cell agastya samhita Modern battery cell resembles Agastya’s method of generating electricity. For generating electricity, Sage Agastya had used the following material: 1.One earthen pot 2.Copper plate 3.Copper sulphate 4.Wet saw dust 5.Zinc amalgam His text says : “Sansthapya Mrinmaya Patre Tamrapatram Susanskritam Chhadyechhikhigriven Chardrarbhih Kashthpamsubhih. Dastaloshto Nidhatavyah Pardachhaditastah Sanyogajjayte Tejo Mitravarunsangyitam” संस्थाप्य मृण्मये पात्रे ताम्रपत्रं सुसंस्कृतम्‌। छादयेच्छिखिग्रीवेन चार्दाभि: काष्ठापांसुभि:॥ दस्तालोष्टो निधात्वय: पारदाच्छादितस्तत:। संयोगाज्जायते तेजो मित्रावरुणसंज्ञितम्‌॥ Which means, “Place a well-cleaned copper plate in an earthenware vessel. Cover it first by copper sulfate and then by moist sawdust. After that, put a mercury-amalgamated zinc sheet on top of the sawdust to avoid polariz

VENOM vs POISON

Venom and Poison are both toxic substances. Still, some animals are called venomous and others are poisonous. The only difference between being called poisonous or venomous is in the way these animals deliver the harmful substance. Venom: When animals like snakes use their sharp fangs to bite into the flesh and let the toxic substance move into the body of their prey,  through the punctured skin, they are called venomous animals. To deliver venom an animal has to use tools like fangs or stingers. Poison: Poison is something that can get inhaled, ingested or seeped into the skin directly. For example, if you accidentally touch a brightly colored poison dart frog, you will transfer the toxins it secretes from its skin, to your own skin. And then the poison will seep into your blood stream.

GRAFTING

Grafting is an advanced technique that botanists, farmers, gardeners, and hobbyists use to add living tissue from one plant to another. Plant tissues have the ability to grow new vascular tissue, and the process of grafting takes advantage of this ability. The vascular tissue of the main plant joins with the vascular tissue of the added plant, keeping the new tissue alive and growing. This is a way for plants to reproduce asexually. You can think of grafting as being similar to organ donation - when someone needs a new kidney or liver, they can get one donated. Their body will grow new blood vessels, and the new organ will grow and work in its new body. The same thing happens with plants, except it's much less expensive! One of the best example of grafting is 'Tree of 40'. A Tree of 40 Fruit is one of a series of fruit trees created by the New York-based artist Sam Van Aken using the technique of grafting. Each tree produces forty types of stone fruit, of the genus Prunus,

How glass is made?

Believe it or not, Glass is made from liquid sand. You can make glass by heating ordinary sand (which is mostly made of silicon dioxide) until it melts and turns into a liquid. You won't find that happening on your local beach: sand melts at the incredibly high temperature of 1700°C (3090°F). Production of Glass in modern times has not change much since it was discovered in ancient areas of Persia and Egypt - sand (which consists of silica, soda ash and lime) is heated to extreme temperatures, and then is allowed to cool down and be shaped into almost any form by either blowing or pouring in pre-designed molds.  This extremely easy process can also be enriched with additives, which can provide glass with every color or opacity imaginable, improve quality, durability and other properties. Even though this process can sound simple, it requires much precision because to create perfect glass container of window you need to carefully maintain temperatures at every point of the manufactu

what do youth of India in lockdown ?

Watching too much porn is bad for the brain and especially this age is vulnerable to it. And masturbation is cherry on top for emotional and mental fluctuations. Photography is not a hobby anymore, part of the day to day life, updating with status and post on WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, etc. In or thinking to go into a relationship. But many face heartbreak which really hurts them and impacts their lives deeply. Many of them thinking education is not helping them to fulfill their dreams, difficult to get even a small job. Some exams are highly lucrative in India, many youths devote themselves to crack exams like JEE, NEET, and Civil Services, but a handful of them can crack it. The type of jobs and education in India are north and south poles, creating delusion among teens about their careers. Internet is booming in India, lots of youth living remotely can access it and learning lots of things about the world, Watching Tic-Tok or YouTube content for entertainment. The sure and safe

Contact Lenses Made of 👁️

There are three main categories of contact lenses, based on the materials they are made of: soft contacts, rigid gas permeable (GP) contacts, and hybrid contact lenses. Soft contacts are made of pliable hydrophilic ("water-loving") plastics called hydrogels. Hydrogels absorb significant amounts of water to keep the lenses soft and supple. Because of this water-loving characteristic, the water content of various hydrogel contact lenses can range from approximately 38 to 75 percent (by weight). The water content of soft lenses allows oxygen to pass through the lenses and keep the cornea healthy during contact lens wear. Gas permeable contacts, also called GP or RGP lenses, are rigid (hard) contact lenses. Like hydrogels used for soft lenses, materials used to create GP contact lenses also are "gas permeable," allowing oxygen to pass through the lenses to the cornea. Unlike soft lenses, however, rigid gas permeable lenses do not contain significant amounts of water. In

Most Expensive liquid in world

Scorpion Venom is the most expensive liquid on earth at approx $39,000,000 per gallon. Scorpions use their venom as a defense against predators to paralyze and kill their prey. The venom is comprised of groups of complex molecules called neurotoxins. These are proteins consisting of 60-70 crosslinked amino acids that when injected attack the nerve cells of the victim causing paralysis and death.  Research suggests that scorpion venom can block bone loss, making it a useful substance for treating conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. The protein found in the scorpion venom, however can be used to treat pain in humans who suffer from multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease and to make anti-venoms.

7 SIMPLE WAYS TO SAVE MONEY

7 SIMPLE WAYS TO SAVE MONEY 1. PAY YOURSELF FIRST (Take a portion of your income every single month and put it away as soon as possible into your savings account) 2. GET RID OF YOUR DEBT (Debt is a burden: it takes away resources from you and limits your choices) 3. THINK BEFORE YOU BUY (Unfortunately, right now all there’s left from those purchases is a lot of useless stuff cluttering your house and a big hole in your budget) 4. SET UP A PLAN BEFORE YOU GO TO THE GROCERY STORE (This way, you’ll be able to buy only the foods you really need and take advantage of any coupons that might be available in your local stores) 5. SPEND LESS ON ENTERTAINMENT (Reducing your expenses on entertainment doesn’t mean having less fun. In fact, more often than not, the opposite holds true. You could, for example, get rid of cable or cancel any subscriptions to sites and magazines you’re no longer fond of) 6. NEGOTIATE YOUR CREDIT CARD RATES (You can often transfer your balance from one company to anoth

Chain's Belt and Road initiative

China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) (一带一路) is an ambitious programme to connect Asia with Africa and Europe via land and maritime networks along six corridors with the aim of improving regional integration, increasing trade and stimulating economic growth. The name was coined in 2013 by China’s President Xi Jinping, who drew inspiration from the concept of the Silk Road established during the Han Dynasty 2,000 years ago – an ancient network of trade routes that connected China to the Mediterranean via Eurasia for centuries. The BRI has also been referred to in the past as 'One Belt One Road'. The BRI comprises a Silk Road Economic Belt – a trans-continental passage that links China with south east Asia, south Asia, Central Asia, Russia and Europe by land – and a 21st century Maritime Silk Road, a sea route connecting China’s coastal regions with south east and south Asia, the South Pacific, the Middle East and Eastern Africa, all the way to Europe.

Blue Dot Network

The BDN was formally announced on 4th November, 2019 at the Indo-Pacific Business Forum in Bangkok, Thailand. It will be led by the US along with Japan and Australia. It is a multi-stakeholder initiative to bring together governments, the private sector and civil society to promote high-quality, trusted standards for global infrastructure development. It is expected to serve as a globally recognised evaluation and certification system for roads, ports and bridges with a focus on the Indo-Pacific region. Infrastructure projects would be graded on debt, environmental standards, labour standards etc. This system would apply to projects in any citizen-centric country where citizens would like to evaluate such projects. It seems to be planned as a direct counter to China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). However, unlike the BRI, the BDN would not offer public funds or loans for the project. BDN will serve as a globally recognized seal of approval for major infrastructure projects, letting p

Halal meat

Halal is an Arabic word that means permissible. A Halal certified product means that the product is permissible or acceptable in accordance with Islamic law.  In order for products to receive this certification, , they must be from an acceptable source such as a chicken and slaughtered according to these laws. Offering Halal certified products allows Muslim consumers to be confident that the products they use are in alignment with their culture and beliefs.  Similarly, products can also be Kosher certified, which gives Jewish consumers the same piece of mind. Cosmetic, personal care, healthcare and pharmaceutical industries will see the largest growth in Halal products as the demand is growing at a rapid rate.

Flame at the top of a oil refinery 🛢️

During the day-to-day operations of a working refinery, by-products created in the process are collected and routed to recovery tanks for further processing where they are converted into gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and other products. If abnormal conditions occur (such as a power failure, an equipment malfunction or a vessel overpressure), some gases are rerouted to the flare system to be safely combusted, instead of being emitted directly into the air.   Refinery personnel are constantly monitoring the flare system from an on-site control room. Rarely, you might see black smoke coming from the flare. That happens when there’s not enough steam available to burn all the hydrocarbons; after a short delay the site personnel adjust the steam as necessary to optimize the combustion process. People may also notice a rumbling sound coming from the flare. The sound is created by the mixing of vapours, air and steam during the process.

GLOBAL ENERGY TRANSITION INDEX

WORLD ECONOMIC FORM'S GLOBAL ENERGY TRANSITION INDEX The ETI benchmarks 115 countries on the current performance of their energy system and their readiness for the energy transition. the report said, " of the 115 countries 94 correspondings to more than 70 percent of the global carbon dioxide emission have improved their scores since 2015". The transition readiness component of the index has taken into account six individual indicators. 1.Energy system structure  2.Capital and investment 3.Regulations and political commitment 4.Human capital and consumer participation 5.Infrastructure and innovative business environment 6. Institutions and governance  There are the ranks of the countries in the global energy transition index which is given by the world economic forum. Sweden has topped the Energy Transition Index (ETI) for the third consecutive year and is followed by Switzerland and Finland in the top three. if you see on the list there is not a single Asian country, not

TURNING vs BORING MACHINING

Turning and boring are two common machining processes used in the manufacturing industry. They both require the use of a machine to remove material from a workpiece. Whether a workpiece is made of metal or wood, it can be probably be reshaped with the help of turning or boring. While both of these machining processes are designed to remove material from workpieces, though, they aren’t necessarily the same. What Is Turning? Turning is a machining process that’s characterized by the use of a stationary, non-rotating cutting tool to remove material from the external surface of a workpiece. Although it can be performed by hand, turning is typically performed using a machine known as a lathe. The workpiece is secured to the lathe, after which it rotates while pressing against a cutting tool. As shown above, the cutting tool used in turning operations typically consists of a small blade. As the workpiece rotates against the blade, the cutting tool removes a uniform amount of material, thereb

4 stroks IC engine WORKING

A four-cycle engine works with 4 basic steps to a successful rotation of the crankshaft: the intake, compression, power and exhaust stroke. Each engine cylinder has four openings for the intake, exhaust, spark plug and fuel injection. The piston is driven by the engine's crankshaft whereas the intake and exhaust valves are driven by the camshaft. The crankshaft and camshaft are connected by a timing belt/chain to maintain synchronization between them. The various processes comprising the cycles of a four-stroke engine are explained below. Intake Stroke:  The intake stroke is where the intake valves are open and the air is drawn into the cylinder. The fuel injector sprays the fuel into the cylinder to achieve the perfect air-fuel ratio. The downward movement of the piston causes the air and fuel to be sucked into the cylinder. Combustion/Power Stroke:  During the power/combustion stroke, both the intake and exhaust valves are still closed. The spark plug produces a spark to ignite t

what can we learn from Mahabharata ?

The epic narrative of Mahabharata had been written ages ago. Yet the legendary tale continues to find prominence in every form of art and continues to overwhelm us even today. SO, here is some important values that can learn from epic Mahabharata according to me. 1.LEADERSHIP   leadership plays a vital role in any managerial operations. it will be influence people and can be the deformed behavior skills and attitude of the person. Authoritative style Lord Krishna is direct the right way. Directive style Load Krishna is to motivate arjuna for his responsibilities and his work. Participative style Distributed all the authority to every commander. Influencing style Lord Krishna is convinced the Bhishma by using Yudhishthira. 2. PATRIOTISM You can learn patriotism from Bhishma Pitamah. Bhishma invest is a whole life to protect the kingdom of Hastinapura. ‘ “Janani Janma-bhoomi-scha Swargadapi Gariyasi”  Translated as “ Mother and motherland are superior to Heaven. ”

E-Cigarette 🚬

An e-cigarette is a battery-powered device that converts liquid nicotine into a mist, or vapor, that the user inhales. There's no fire, no ash and no smoky smell. E-cigarettes do not contain all of the harmful chemicals associated with smoking tobacco cigarettes, such as carbon monoxide and tar. The electronic cigarette was invented by Chinese pharmacist Hon Lik, who patented the device in 2003 and introduced it to the Chinese market the following year. Numerous companies are now selling e-cigarettes to customers around the world. But as e-cigarette smoking -- or "vaping" as it's sometimes called -- has grown in popularity, some have concerns about its safety, including the possibility that the vapor created by the devices contains dangerous chemicals.

Artificial Leaf 🍁🍂

Artificial leaf, a silicon-based device that uses solar energy to split hydrogen and oxygen in water, thereby producing hydrogen energy in a clean way, leaving virtually no pollutants. The technology, which was designed to simulate the natural energy-generating process of photosynthesis used by plants, was first successfully developed by American chemist Daniel G. Nocera and colleagues in 2011. Further work was needed to improve its efficiency and cost-effectiveness for practical use. The basic component of an artificial leaf is a silicon chip that is coated in chemical catalysts, which speed up the water-splitting reaction. In an open vessel of water, when solar energy hits the chip, a chemical reaction similar to photosynthesis occurs—the hydrogen and oxygen molecules of water are split apart, resulting in the separation of protons and electrons. The protons and electrons are captured on the chip and are recombined to form hydrogen gas, which can be used for the immediate generation

8 SECRET TO WRITE FASTER AND SWEET

1.  Take a look at your internal dialog before you do anything and really look at the story you are telling yourself about the things you want to change. 2.  The two questions you need to ask yourself before writing so that you can reverse engineer your content and get your readers the results they are looking for.  3.  How you can organize all of your ideas in one place so you can write faster. 4.  The importance of keeping things short and sweet. 5.  Why you need to stop everything and create an editorial calendar before writing another word.  6. Why trying to complete the entire writing process at one time won't help you write faster.  7.  Work expands to the time allotted...if you want to write faster you need to set a time limit. 8.  Be the vessel, not the source. Allow quality content to come through you and take the pressure off yourself by realizing you're not doing this alone.
