The inventions inspired by animals

Surely you will be surprised to learn that the following important designs and inventions were created by scientists by observing the animal world.

Robot knows how to fool

Squirrels often go to empty hollows or caves so other squirrels think it is where they hide their food. Based on that habit of squirrels, scientists have built robots capable of tricking other robots by leading them to pre-selected locations, making them unable to search for real targets.

Pain relieving needles

The hair on the hedgehog has many prongs in the head so they can be easily inserted into the enemy's body. By simulating the porcupine structure, Harvard University researchers in the United States made it easier to inject needles into the human body than the subcutaneous needles, thus reducing the level of pain when injection.

Adhesive tape resembles spider silk

Some parts of spider silk have very high stickiness, but the stickiness of some parts is zero. Thus spider silk can stick very firmly to the target, but when people can still remove it easily. Harvard University's painkiller needle manufacturing group has also created a sticky spider-like tape that allows it to stick to the target, but users can easily remove it in an emergency.

Athletes swimwear

Sharks swim very fast because their skin helps reduce friction and drag. So many Olympic swimmers wear what people call "shark swimsuits" to increase the speed of movement in the water.

Jet engine

When plunging, the bird can reach speeds of up to 320km / h. At that rate, most animals cannot breathe. But the bird is still breathing normally thanks to a convex part with a conical shape on its nose. This convex set leads air into the nose. Scientists have created holes of cone shapes on jet engines so they can take air while the plane is speeding in the air.

Cancer cell detection chip

The long, sticky and extremely sensitive tentacles of jellyfish are the inspiration for Harvard University scientists in the US to create microchips with the same structure as jellyfish tentacles. As a result, they can detect cancer cells in very small amounts of blood.

Ultra-hard and light coating

The more of the lobster, the mantis, is light but has a high stiffness, elasticity and strength. Researchers from the University of Bourns in the United States found that the lobster's mantis is made up of extremely dense minerals and sugar membranes. They hope that, by simulating the structure of the mantis lobster, they can increase the hardness of the outer shell of the armored vehicles and aircraft, but reduce the mass of the shell.

Japanese high-speed train

Japan high-speed train not only impresses by speed, durability but also impresses by its modern and sophisticated design. However, few people know that this ship is inspired by a wild animal, it is kingfisher. For maximum noise reduction, design engineers have designed long and narrow heads, like the kingfisher beak.

Patch tape for small hooks

After struggling to remove the spikes on his dog's fur, the Swiss engineer, George de Mestral, came up with the idea of ​​inventing a small ice-claw, called Velcro, inspired by wild nature . (According to Emgn)

Geck Skin material

Developed at the University of Massachusetts, Geck Skin is a modeled material after scientists analyze the special structure of the gecko, which is an extremely powerful, capable material. Adhesion, holding weight about 317 kg on smooth surface. (According to Emgn)

Mercedes-Benz bionic cars

The Mercedes-Benz bionic car launched in 2005 is one of the most efficient vehicles due to its size and shape. However, it is rare to know that the design of this car is an aerodynamic replica of the gold box fish. (According to Emgn).

Automatic reconnaissance aircraft

Developed by the University of Michigan for a military project, this remote-controlled automatic remote control aircraft is inspired by bats, night-hunting animals and extremely hearing ears. (According to Emgn)

EBooks

You can thank butterflies when you can read an e-book without hurting your eyes. Inspired by the iridescent color of the butterfly wings, the crystal screen of this reflecting e-book helps protect the eyes of the user, effectively preventing eye strain, eye strain. (According to Emgn)

Tuabintua propellers

Although it is quite bulky because of its huge body, the comfortable whales walk in the water gently and smoothly. This is because their fins are rough and not flat, allowing them to move easily. When researcher Frank Fish, from West Chester University discovered this advantage, turbine blades have been improved in the shape of whale fins, which helps to reduce noise and jet effect very effectively.
