Creative Invention

The Smallest Electronic Saxophone

The idea of the Travel Sax came from Ramon Mañas, the founder of Odisei Music in Spain. He worked with his team to design and develop this saxophone. When he began to learn how to play the saxophone, his neighbours complained, making it impossible for him to practise. This led him to design the world’s smallest electronic saxophone.

The sound played by the Travel Sax can be fed back through the headphones. Players can hear the sound themselves, but the people around them cannot hear it. So, no matter when or where you practise the sax, you will not disturb others.

The lithium battery of the Travel Sax can be charged via USB. When the sax is fully charged, you can play it up to 6 hours non-stop.

Valley Fog

Something is What are you coming close to us.

Snap!

Rustle… Rustle…

We’re going to be eaten by wild animals.

Hi! Don’t be scared. There’re no wild animals here. kids doing in the forest?

We wanted to go to the water park. But it’s too foggy and we can’t find the way.

We’re heading to the same destination. Follow me. The cold air makes the water into water droplets. Then fog forms.

Fog occurs easily in winter.

Why is vapour close to the ground saturate easily and *condense

that?

Is fog the same as haze?

Fog is composed of water droplets or ice crystals and has little effect on our health. Haze is made up of the dust and sulphuric acid particles in the air that can make the atmosphere *turbid. Haze is harmful to our health. Aw!

Now I Know! Now I Know!

Fog is a natural phenomenon in which water vapour is cooled by cold air and condensed into tiny water droplets that float near the ground surface. When the fog meets with a rather speedy wind, it is blown away or lifted to become a cloud.

different.

*condense: to change from a gas into a liquid *turbid: full of dirt so you cannot see through it

Later...

The fog we see right now can be called valley fog. Are you alright? The fog has blurred our vision. We should be careful when we walk.

The floating fog makes the scenery more beautiful.

In fact, there are many types of fog.

Such as?

Now I Know! Now I Know!

According to various condensation causes, fog can be divided into different types such as radiation fog, advection fog and steam fog. Valley fog is a type of radiation fog. Valley fog usually occurs in valleys during the winter. Fog can last for a couple of days in calm and stable weather conditions.

What other factors affect how long fog lasts? Fog can also be affected by dry and wet weather conditions in local places. Fog lasts for a shorter time in dry places but for a longer time in wet places.

Oh, I dropped my oar!

Harry, if you lean over, the boat will tip over.

Oh no!

Now I Know! Now I Know!

Foggy weather occurs most often during clear and breezy nights and mornings in places where there is plenty of moisture near the ground. Japan’s Tokyo, China’s Qingdao and England’s London are the cities where fog often occurs.

The river water is so cold!
