😳 WHY❓❓❓

why can’t normal batteries be recharged

Single-use batteries (also known as primary batteries), can only make the electrons take a trip from the anode over to the cathode one-way once.

The most popular non-rechargable battery types are alkaline and zinc-carbon. Both of these kinds of batteries produce electricity by means of a chemical reaction with the chemicals inside them. As they produce electricity, the chemicalst transform into a different chemical. The process for alklaine (non-rechargeable) batteries is not reversible, which is why they cannot be recharged. The rechargeable ones like lithium-ion are reversible, hence they can be recharged.

Batteries discharge even if not used, because the chemical reaction goes “forward” anyway, although much more slowly.

🤔 HOW IT WORKS ⁉


How a Hot Air Balloon will Fly?

Hot air balloons are based on a very basic scientific principle: warmer air rises in cooler air. By heating the air inside the balloon with the burner, it becomes lighter than the cooler air on the outside. This causes the balloon to float upwards, as if it were in water. Obviously, if the air is allowed to cools, the balloon begins to slowly come down

Trishul has great significance in Sanatana Dharma

Trishul—-meaning and significance
The three prongs of Trishul represents — trinity –brahma , Vishnu , Mahesh ; sarasvati , lakshami and kaali ; 3—modes of nature –creation, maintenance and destruction ; the 3 –kaala—past, present and future ; the 3– Gunas – sat , raj , tam . 3– lokas—swarg , bhu and patal ; 3– powers—will , action and wisdom ; 3—types of miseries –physical , menatal and spiritual .

The trishula in human body represents three energy channels —ida, pingala and shushmana meet at the brow. Shushmana, the central one, continues upward to the 7th chakra, or energy center, while the other two end at the brow, there the 6th chakra is located. The trisula’s central point represents Shushmana, and that is why it is longer than the other two, representing ida and pingala.
