Sound screwdriver and its holder

Doctor Who? Here is the question that millions, billions of galaxies in the endless universe are asking, and at the same time we are ordinary inhabitants of the third planet from the sun.

A blue phone booth, an eccentric accessory and, of course, a sound screwdriver - that's why you can always recognize a mysterious stranger with Gallifrey - perhaps forever gone from time and space of the Time Lords planet.

Riddle

The creators of the legendary series have done a great job in this respect. Perhaps even they do not know who the hero of this amazing, amazing story, which can not have an end, can not be the end of time itself. More than fifty years the world audience with ecstasy observes the adventures of an eccentric with a booth, practically nothing about him not knowing. Nevertheless, the point in this article is not about the hero, but about his adaptation - a sound screwdriver.

Where does it come from?

Without it, he does not leave the house, but more specifically from the phone booth. What is this tool? How does it work and how does it happen in the hands of the Doctor? Let's try to find out.

The sound screwdriver, it seems, is part of the hero himself, but it is more correct to call it a component of his spacecraft - the TARDIS. Each regeneration of the protagonist is accompanied by a change in the interface of the blue phone booth and, accordingly, a screwdriver.

A new version of the multifunction device materializes in a special compartment of the TARDIS instrument panel after the upgrade process is over. So that's easy and convenient, like everything in the universe of this series.

The only weapon

Fans of "Doctor Who" are well aware of the fact that this character of the series is distinguished by a special kindness and the desire to save everyone. That is why, even when engaging in a battle, he does not resort to weapons until the very last moment.

All that he has is the TARDIS, a huge number of incomprehensible instruments and, of course, a sound screwdriver, without which it is difficult to imagine. It is she who becomes his faithful assistant in all the alterations, where the Doctor and his companions so willingly fall.

Basic properties

Perhaps no fan of the series can accurately answer the question about what a sound screwdriver does-whether it's a control panel, or a dangerous weapon, or simply an object from a Samodelkin's box. Sometimes it seems that this tool can almost everything: scan objects and open locks, amplify voice and repair equipment, manage the TARDIS and simply surprise people.

The Doctor always has some strange thing that confuses everyone around, except perhaps the traveler in time. This can be a colorful scarf, red sneakers "conversion", not combined with anything, or a strange hairstyle. For example, 11 Doctor Who adored a bow tie, and no force in the universe could not make him change the favorite accessory.

These addictions to strange clothes change with each regeneration, but the presence of a screwdriver is invariable.

Screwdriver evolution

Over the years of the series, the sound screwdriver (the principle of its operation) has changed quite significantly. The first devices could not boast of functions that far exceed the most usual similar tool. Gradually, the possibilities became more and more until the sonic screwdriver became the same as we used to see it.

It varied in size and shape, color scheme, power, wave level, set of characteristics, but always remained with the Doctor.

Each such device was developed by the creators of the series especially carefully, because the sound screwdriver is a part of the hero himself, and therefore he must determine and correspond to it in everything.

Wonderful properties

11 Doctor Who in one of the series gave an exhaustive explanation of the principle of the sound screwdriver: the device responds to thought processes and performs the appropriate commands by using sound waves.

With this miracle of technology, heroes easily make adjustments to the software, analyze substances, scan the premises, not to mention the fact that the sound screwdriver easily copes with the locks, if they are not made of wood.

It is noteworthy that this amazing device is being listened to not only by its owner. The sound screwdriver also obeys his lovely companions, being in their hands.

It should be noted one more feature of the Gallifrey gadget, which really can be envied. How many times have you broken tools or household appliances? At best, they could be repaired, and at worst - to say goodbye and carry to a landfill. So, the Doctor does not have such problems. Finally breaking, the screwdriver is restored, and with an additional set of functions that are found in the most unexpected circumstances.

For the sake of justice it is necessary to say that the sound screwdriver is only the embodiment of a completely scientific concept. Oscillations of this type have long been used in the sphere of production and medicine.

So not all in this series is a fiction: Doctor Who himself, a sound screwdriver and his TARDIS. Who knows, maybe somewhere in the vastness of the boundless cosmos, now the telephone booth of the most blue color is landing on the next planet.
