Kulishwa elibi ukuba i-bubbly ayiqhekezi xa kubhaptizwa inqanawa, ngoko ke i-P&O iye yaqesha iRoyal Marines ukuba iqalise i-supersize line Ventura. Ngawaphi amanye amaqhinga orhwebo?

Kuyinto yesiko xa usungula inqanawa ye-VIP ukujingisa ibhotile ye-champagne kwizaphetha.

Kodwa u-Dame Helen Mirren - "uthixo" we-P&O yeyona liner entsha i-Ventura - endaweni yoko uya kuyalela iqela leRoyal Marines ukuba liyilahle inqanawe kwaye laphule ibhotile ngokuchasene ne-hull kumsitho wangoLwesithathu wokuthiywa kwamagama eSouthampton.

Oku kungenxa yokuba iintsomi zaselwandle zimi ngelithi ukuba ibhotile iyasilela ukutyhoboza, inqanawa iya kujongwa kubomi obunethamsanqa elwandle.

Kunyaka ophelileyo i-Duchess yaseCornwall ayiphumelelanga ukutyumza ibhotile kwicala le-cruise liner Queen Victoria; kamva amanqaku abakhweli baye bagula ngenxa yentsholongwane yesisu esosulelayo.

Ukunqanda eli nqaku libi, ishishini lokuthumela ngenqanawa linamaqhinga amaninzi okuqinisekisa ukugqabhuka kwekhefu.

Iibhotile zeChampagne zomelele kakhulu, ziyilelwe ukuba zimelane noxinzelelo oluphezulu, kodwa kuthatha kuphela isiphene esincinci, esinje ngeqamza eglasini, ukubeka esichengeni amandla ayo, utshilo uGqr Mark Miodownik, isazinzulu seKing's College London.

“Iglasi yinto enzima kakhulu. Ukuba ufuna ukwenza isiphene kuyo, uya kukufumanisa kunzima kakhulu, kodwa idayimani yomelele. Ingcebiso yam ephezulu iya kuba kukora ibhotile ngedayimani. "

Liqhinga eliqhelekileyo kusihlalo we-P&O uMhlekazi uJohn Parker, osungule iinqanawa ezininzi ngexesha lakhe. “Xa ndandingumakhi weenqanawa, sasihlala sikora ibhotile. Sebenzisa i-glass cutter. Yandisa kakhulu amathuba okuba iphuke.”

Ngelixa iiMarines bezilolonga ngeebhotile ezifakwe amanqaku, uKapteni uRoderic Yapp RM uthi ezi zityhoboze ngokulula kumzimba weVentura kangangokuba ibhotile engaguqukiyo iya kusetyenziswa kumsitho.

Ubungakanani bemicimbi

UGqr Miodownik uthi ukubakho okwenzekayo kwimathematika, uhlobo lwentambo kunye nobungakanani beqamza zonke zingena kuyo. Inkulu ibhotile, iphezulu amathuba okuba nezibalo zesiphene sendalo, ngoko ucebisa ukusebenzisa ijerobhowam.

Ulibale ngevintage, bubungakanani beqamza obubalayo. “Okukhona emakhulu amaqamza, kokukhona uxinzelelo luphezulu ngaphakathi ebhotileni, kokukhona kunokwenzeka ukuba aqhawuke kwimpembelelo. Olona khetho lungcono kukuya kufuna ibhotile enexabiso eliphantsi yecava enamaqamza amakhulu. "

Kwaye ukwandise esi siphumo ngokunika ibhotile ukuxubha okulungileyo.

Intambo enako nakuphi na ukunwebeka kuyo iyakufunxa amandla, ukuze icace, utsho uGqr Miodonik. Kungcono kunentambo iya kuba ubude bocingo.

Ngelixa uninzi lwezaphetha zenqanawa zenziwe ngentsimbi eqinileyo, ezinye iindawo ziya komelela ngakumbi kunezinye - ke i-x-reyi isaphetha, jonga iigroins (iziseko zokuxhasa eziphambili) kwaye ujonge ezi zinto.

Emva koko kukho ngubani - okanye yintoni - oya kuphosa. Ngaphambi kokuqaliswa kwe-Ventura, iRoyal Marine ejongene nokusebenza ngeentambo kunye nokunyuka kwentaba iqhube i-recce yenqanawa.

Kamva kule nyanga, iRoyal Caribbean International iya kuyiphelisa into yomntu ngokupheleleyo xa isungula eyayo inqanawa enkulu yokuhamba ngenqanawa. Uthixo wabo uya kucofa iqhosha ukuze avule umatshini okhethekileyo wokutyumza i-champagne.

Kodwa oku akubobudenge nangayiphi na indlela. Xa uJodie noJemma Kidd bancedisa ekusunguleni i-Ocean Village emibini kunyaka ophelileyo, isixhobo esizisebenzelayo asizange siphumelele ukutyumza ibhotile. Ilungu labasebenzi enqanaweni kuye kwafuneka lingenelele lize lenze imbeko.
