Quiet stroll. Australian Boy Scouts to Switch to Electric Bikes

Scouts of the Australian Light Cavalry have started testing e-bikes. This vehicle has several advantages over traditional motorcycles. Electric bikes are much quieter and lighter, making them easier to load into transport vehicles. Also, if the battery suddenly runs out, the soldiers will be able to use the pedals. Bikes have long been used by various military units, but modern fighters are turning to electric options.

Electric bikes are gaining popularity in various armies around the world & mdash; they are already tested by paratroopers and special services in Denmark and the United Arab Emirates. They drive a model developed by Quietkat and Jeep. It is equipped with a 1000 watt motor and can travel up to 96.5 kilometers.

Now Australian light cavalry scouts have started testing electric bikes. The video shows how the military in camouflage efficiently cross the forest, blending in with it in color. Khaki bikes lift a bunch of foliage, an armored car adds atmosphere, also for some reason present at the beginning and end of the video. Of course, everything goes to the music – or without it.

According to the video, the scouts received the B-52 models from local company Stealth Electric Bikes. These electric bikes weigh 51 kilograms and can travel up to 100 kilometers on a single battery charge. Their maximum speed & mdash; At 80 kilometers per hour and 50 kilometers per hour, they only generate 65 decibels of noise, which is about the level of a loud conversation. For most motorcycles at about the same speed, this figure is 85 to 95 decibels. It already looks like a jackhammer or a noisy nightclub.

According to the description, this model is ideal for rough terrain, allows you to perform simple jumps. It also offers quick acceleration and instant acceleration capabilities. The bikes also brake perfectly, as the developer assures us. The display collects data in real time and statistics such as speed, battery power and other important information for the cyclist. By the way, the bike recharges from an ordinary socket – the only question is how to find it in the forest or in the mountains? However, it is possible that the same armored vehicle is simply carrying a battery for the scouts. Or transport unloaded bikes.

The maximum weight for a cyclist is 120kg, so Scouts are not advised to gain weight – you should also take equipment and weapons with you.

However, the undoubted advantage of bikes is that they are less noise and less dusty. Will it be another “toy” the army or become the know-how of the intelligence world – time will tell.

Police often use electric motorcycles in patrol roles as a more efficient alternative to gasoline motorcycles. The silent chase prevents the driver from spotting the cops and attempting to escape.

The military began to use regular bicycles at the end of the 19th century. During World War I, the British Army had two bicycle divisions primarily engaged in security missions, while Belgian soldiers used folding bicycles. This means of transport was mainly used massively by Japan. In 1937, it invaded China with 50,000 Cycle Infantry.

Children grow up fast. How to teach physics for life in school?

Weekly “Arguments and facts” n ° 42. Supernumber: 152 answers to questions 20/10/2021

& laquo; Teacher of the Year & mdash; 2021 & # 39; & # 39; became Ekaterina & nbsp; 28-year-old Kostyleva from Tyumen.

“ Children grow up fast. Try to find opportunities to just be close to your child more often, as this time is priceless', '' the best teacher in the country advises parents. Ekaterina Kostyleva teaches physics from grades 7 to 11. By her early education, she is a petroleum physicist. As a student, she led additional classes at the school and ultimately decided that teaching & mdash; this is his calling. & nbsp;

How to spot an attacker?

& mdash; Ekaterina Sergeevna, our schoolchildren win at the International Olympics, and then they can neither be seen nor heard. We don't have a system for what to do next with such kids?

& mdash; I can't say they are not visible. With great pride, I watch my students, their development, how they are achieved. Guys who showed up in school, Olympics movement, project activities, then become successful students, student association leaders, participate in research projects.

& mdash; But, they say, they take engineering specialties even with three points. Are physicists extinct in the country?

& mdash; I disagree, they are in demand. In our region, specialists with engineering skills are valued, every year many guys choose a technological profile. They successfully pass specialized mathematics, physics, computer science. C-level students cannot take the profile exams at all, which means they can enter a technical university & mdash; too. & nbsp;

& mdash; What was the hardest thing when you started working in school?

& mdash; To get up in the morning. But seriously it was hard to get used to the fact that there are time limits for the lesson and in those 45 minutes there is so much time to do and say. This is not a seminar or forum where you can chat as much as you want.

& mdash; Can the teacher see problem children who are ready to show aggression, as in recent cases with school shooters?

& mdash; Of course, a teacher, being with the children for a long time, can see some of their characteristics, which can lead to aggression. In addition, there are special diagnoses of the condition of children in order to help them on time. But it is possible to systematically solve the problem and prevent it at an early stage if the psychological and educational team are doing well at school. We need specialists and psychological services to deal with these problems.

How not to put a two?

& mdash; Do you give your students two points?

& mdash; Alas, two does not happen. But the devil is the devil. Before I ask it, I try to talk to the student and find out why. Sometimes it happens that something has happened to the child and there is no way to complete the task. For example, he is professionally involved in sport and in the evening he has just returned from competition. Sometimes the reason is psychological. If an unsatisfactory result is associated with low motivation, then you need to think about how to keep the interest of the child. A & mdash; if it's just laziness and refusal to work.

& mdash; Now parents are investing a lot of money in their children's education. Could it be that they are overloaded with circles?

& mdash; It is necessary to start from the needs and interests of the child. In order not to overload it, it is worth seeing where it is going with joy, and where it should be forced. Does he have enough time to be with himself, communicate with friends, do personal business? If not, maybe something needs to be changed, something to give up. & Nbsp;

& mdash; What advice would you give your parents?

& mdash; Always keep the simple truth in mind. Children grow up very quickly. It seems that just recently the child arrived in 5th grade, met his teachers & mdash; and now several years have passed, and he says some kind words to his teachers, leaving the school yard. It is important not to miss these years, which play a big role in the development of a child. It's great when parents manage to maintain a warm relationship with their child along the way. Therefore, I would just like to find time more often to be around the kids. & Nbsp;
