He moko ōna mō te "Iceman Otzi" rongonui o te Wā Kōhatu, i kitea i runga i te awaawa maunga.
I ngā rā o mua, kua horapa te toi o te wero me te tae i te kiri tangata i roto i ngā ahurea maha. He āhua whānui tēnei, nā ngā mīhini tā moko hiko. Ka taea e rātou te whakarārangi i te kiri kia tere ake i ngā ngira tuku iho e whakamahia ana i waenganui i ngā maihao o te kaitoi tā moko. I roto i te nuinga o ngā wā, ka whakarite te motuka kore paraihe kapu tuwhera kia marino te mahi a te mīhini me te tere whakahaere me te iti o te wiri.
Ko tā mātou e kī nei ko te "moko" i ahu mai i te reo Pōrinīhiana. I te reo Hāmoa, ko te tikanga o te tatau he "tika" he "tino tika" rānei. He whakaata i te toi tā moko ātaahua, kawa hoki i roto i te ahurea o te rohe. I te wā koroni, i whakahokia mai e ngā kaiurungi moana ngā moko me te whakaaturanga mai i Pōrinīhiana, ā, i whakaurua mai he momo ahua hou: te whakapaipai kiri.
I ēnei rā, he maha ngā whare tā moko i roto i ngā tāone nui katoa.
Kei te wātea ngā peita iti o te Yin me te Yang i runga i ngā pona waewae ki ngā peita nunui o ngā wāhanga rerekē o te tinana. Ka taea te whakatutuki i ngā āhua me ngā hoahoa katoa e taea e koe te whakaaro, ā, he tino toi ngā whakaahua i runga i te kiri.
Ehara i te mea ko ngā pūkenga taketake anake o te tohunga tā moko te tūāpapa hangarau, engari ko ngā taputapu tika anō hoki. He rite te mahi a te mīhini tā moko ki te mīhini tuitui: ka werohia tētahi, neke atu rānei, o ngā ngira ki roto i te kiri mā te whakakorikori. Ka werohia te tae ki ngā wāhanga tika o te tinana i te tere o ngā mano tini o ngā tuaiwi ia meneti.
I roto i ngā mīhini tā moko o ēnei rā, ka peia te ngira e te motuka hiko. He mea nui te kounga o te taraiwa, ā, me tata kore wiri, me te oma mārire hoki. Nā te mea ka roa te moko mō ngā hāora, me tino māmā te mīhini, engari me whakarato i te mana e tika ana -- me te mahi i ngā tā moko maha mō ngā wā roa. He pai ngā taraiwa DC whakawhiti konganuku utu nui me ngā taraiwa DC kore paraihe papatahi me ngā taraiwa whakahaere tere kua hangaia ki roto, hei whakatutuki i ēnei whakaritenga. E 20 ki te 60 karamu noa iho te taumaha, i runga i te tauira, ā, e 92 ōrau te pai o te mahi.
E kite ana ngā tohunga tā moko i a rātou anō he tohunga tā, ā, ko ngā taputapu kei roto i ō rātou ringaringa he taputapu hei whakaatu i ā rātou mahi toi.
He maha ngā hāora mahi tonu e hiahiatia ana mō ngā moko nunui. Nō reira, ehara i te mea ko te mārama anake te mea e hiahiatia ana mō ngā moko hou, engari me tino ngāwari hoki, ka taea hoki te neke ki tētahi taha. Hei tāpiri, me iti hoki te wiri o te mīhini moko pai, ā, me ngāwari hoki te pupuri.
I te tirohanga tuatahi, he rite tonu te mahi a te mīhini tā moko ki te mīhini tuitui: kotahi, neke atu rānei ngā ngira e werohia ana i roto i te kiri. Mā ngā mano werohanga i ia meneti ka taea te tiki i te tae ki te wāhi e tika ana. Kāore te tohunga tā moko e tino hōhonu, kāore hoki e tino pāpaku, ko te hua pai ko te paparanga waenga o te kiri. Nā te mea ki te tino māmā, kāore e roa te moko, ā, ki te tino hōhonu, ka puta te toto, ka pā ki te tae.
Me tutuki i ngā mīhini e whakamahia ana ngā whakaritenga hangarau me te hoahoa teitei rawa atu, ā, me mahi tika, me mahi pono hoki. Nā te mea ka mahia te mahi huri noa i ngā wāhanga tairongo o te tinana, pērā i ngā kanohi, me tino mārie te taputapu i te wā e whakahaerehia ana. Nā te mea he roa, he whaiti hoki te āhua o te taputapu, he pai ake te rahi o te pene pōro, nō reira he tino pai mō ngā mota iti DC tino angiangi.
He tino pai ngā āhuatanga hangarau o tā mātou motuka, ā, he tino whai hua tēnei mō te aratau pākahiko.
Nā te kaha nui o te mana, ka hua ake he otinga puku kiato, māmā ake, pērā i te 16mm te whānui mō ngā taputapu whakapaipai tūturu ringaringa.
Ki te whakatauritea ki te motuka DC whānui, he rerekē te rotor i roto i ā mātou taputapu. Kāore i takaihia ki te matua rino, engari he koiri parahi piko tautoko-whaiaro. Nō reira, he tino māmā te taumaha o te rotor, ehara i te mea he marino noa te mahi, engari he teitei hoki ngā āhuatanga hihiri, kāore te pānga alveolar, kāore hoki te pānga hysteresis e kitea ana i roto i ētahi atu hangarau.
