Ukukhenkceza kwiintambo zombane kusenokubangela umonakalo, kushiya abantu bengenabushushu nombane kangangeeveki.Kwizikhululo zeenqwelomoya, iinqwelomoya zinokujongana nokulibaziseka okungapheliyo zilindele ukunyangwa kumkhenkce ngezinyibilikisi eziyityhefu zekhemikhali.
Ngoku, nangona kunjalo, abaphandi baseKhanada bafumene isisombululo se-icing yasebusika kumthombo ongalindelekanga: i-gentoo penguin.
Kuphononongo olupapashwe kule veki, izazinzulu kwiYunivesithi yaseMcGill eMontreal ziye zatyhila iucingoUlwakhiwo lwemesh olunokusonga iintambo zombane, amacala ezikhitshane kunye neenqwelomoya kunye nokuthintela ukusetyenziswa kwemichiza ngaphandle kokusetyenziswa kwemichiza.umphezulu.
Izazinzulu ziye zakhuthazwa kumaphiko eepenguin, ezidada kumanzi anomkhenkce kufutshane neAntarctica kwaye zihlala zingenamkhenkce naxa amaqondo obushushu engaphantsi kweqondo lomkhenkce.
“Izilwanyana zine… indlela enzulu yokunxibelelana nendalo,” uAnn Kitzig, umphandi ophambili kolu phando, watsho kudliwano-ndlebe."Inokuba yinto yokubukela kunye nokuphindaphinda."
Izaqhwithi zomkhenkce zibangela umonakalo ongakumbi njengoko utshintsho lwemozulu lusenza ukuba izaqhwithi zasebusika zibe nzima ngakumbi.ETexas kunyaka ophelileyo, ikhephu kunye nomkhenkce zaphazamisa ubomi bemihla ngemihla kwaye zavala igridi yamandla, zishiya izigidi ngaphandle kobushushu, ukutya kunye namanzi iintsuku kwaye zibulala amakhulu.
Izazinzulu, amagosa edolophu kunye neenkokheli zeshishini kudala bezabalaza ukugcina izaqhwithi zomkhenkce zingaphazamisi ukusebenza kwasebusika.Banikezela ngeentambo zombane, iiinjini zomoya kunye namaphiko enqwelo-moya anee-de-icers okanye baxhomekeke kwizinyibilikisi zeekhemikhali ukuze bazisuse ngokukhawuleza.
Kodwa iingcali ezichasene ne-icing zithi ukulungiswa kushiya okuninzi.Ubomi beshelufu yezinto zokupakisha bufutshane.Ukusetyenziswa kwemichiza kudla ixesha kwaye kuyingozi kwindalo esingqongileyo.
UKitzig, ophando lwakhe lujolise ekusebenziseni indalo ukucombulula iingxaki ezintsonkothileyo zabantu, uye wachitha iminyaka ezama ukufumana eyona ndlela ilungileyo yokuhlangabezana nomkhenkce.Ekuqaleni, wayecinga ukuba igqabi lelotus linokuba ngumgqatswa kuba liyaqukuqela kwaye licocwe ngokwemvelo.Kodwa oosonzululwazi baqonda ukuba ayizukusebenza kwiimeko zemvula enkulu, utshilo.
Emva koko, uKitzig neqela lakhe baya kwiMontreal Zoo, ikhaya leepenguin zegentoo.Baye bachukunyiswa ziintsiba zepenguin kwaye badityaniswa ukuba bangene nzulu kuyilo.
Bafumanise ukuba iintsiba ngokwemvelo ziwubamba umkhenkce.UMichael Wood, umphandi weprojekthi kunye noKitzig, uthe iintsiba zicwangciswe ngokoluhlu oluvumela ukuba zihambe ngokwemvelo, kwaye umphezulu wazo wendalo we-spiky unciphisa ukuncamathela komkhenkce.
Abaphandi baphindaphinda uyilo besebenzisa itekhnoloji yelaser ukwenza i-wovenucingoumnatha.Bandula ke bavavanya ukuncamathela komnatha kumkhenkce kwitonela lomoya baza bafumanisa ukuba inokumelana ngama-95 ekhulwini ngakumbi kunomphezulu wentsimbi ecocekileyo.Bongeza ukuba akukho zinyibilikisi zekhemikhali ezifunekayo nazo.
Iumnathainokudityaniswa namaphiko eenqwelomoya, utshilo uKitzig, kodwa iimfuno zemithetho yokhuseleko lomoya yomanyano ziya kwenza utshintsho olulolo hlobo lube nzima ukuphumeza ngexesha elifutshane.
UKevin Golovin, uprofesa oncedisayo wobunjineli bomatshini kwiYunivesithi yaseToronto, uthe inxalenye enomdla kakhulu yesi sisombululo sokulwa ne-icing kukuba i-wire mesh eyenza ukuba ihlale ixesha elide.
Ezinye izisombululo, ezifana nerabha echasene ne-icing okanye indawo ephefumlelwe ngamagqabi e-lotus, ayinako ukuqina.
"Basebenza kakuhle kakhulu kwilebhu," watsho uGolovin, owayengabandakanyekanga kwisifundo.“Abaguquleli kakuhle apho.”
