Abstract: Many industrial processes take place often under high temperatures. One of the greatest problems is overheating of surrounding structural elements in contact with hot gases. This increases the thermal load on materials and reduces the service life of constructions. The construction of efficient cooling systems is very complex and time-consuming and presents a technical challenge. The invention addresses the problem of providing a method, which ensures separation of hot gases from construction walls while allowing high gas temperatures to be achieved in the working region. The problem is solved with a method, which is characterized in that a hot gas is kept in continuous rotation in a chamber, wherein the rotating gas forms a thermally insulating gas layer due to the effect of centrifugal force, and overheating of the chamber walls is avoided thereby. Using the invention can significantly reduce heat losses and thus energy consumption. Higher efficiencies can be achieved.

Abstract: A method for forming a lipid bilayer membrane is provided, the method comprising forming a layer of lipid molecules on a liquid surface at an air-liquid interface between a liquid volume and an air volume. An aperture is moved from the liquid volume to the air volume through the layer of lipid molecules to form a lipid monolayer membrane at the aperture, the aperture being at an end of bilayer former. The aperture is then moved from the air volume to the liquid volume through the layer of lipid molecules to form the bilayer membrane. An angle of >90° is maintained between the liquid surface and a surface of the aperture during the formation of the lipid monolayer membrane and during the formation of the lipid bilayer membrane.
