    There are many, the plane is from a dragonfly, the radar is from a bat, the mouse is from a mouse, and the saw from the thatch, now I can't think of it for the time being.

    (1) Inspired by bats, radar was invented.

    Bats emit a kind of ultrasound wave that comes back when it encounters an object, but humans can't hear it. Radar was invented based on this property of bats. Radar is used in a variety of places, such as airplanes, aviation, etc.

    2) Inspired by flies, the vibrating gyroscope was invented.

    The wings of flies (also known as balance sticks) are "natural navigators", and people imitate them to make "vibrating gyroscopes". This instrument has been used in rockets and high-speed aircraft to achieve autopilot.

    3) The revelation of the electrified fish invented the volt battery.

    Electric fish have a peculiar power generating organ in their body. These power-generating organs are made up of translucent, disk-shaped cells called plates or disks. It is designed according to the natural generator of electric fish, so it is called "artificial electric organ".

    4) Inspired by termites, the dry rubber cannonball was invented.

    Not only do termites use adhesive to build their mounds of dirt, but they can also spray adhesive at enemies through the small tubes in their heads. So people made a working ** according to the same principle - dry rubber shells.

    5) Inspired by the giraffe, the anti-load suit was invented.

    When the spacecraft lifted off, scientists developed a flight suit - "anti-load suit" according to the principle that the giraffe can control the pressure of blood vessels by using the tight **.

    Extended information: The advantage of radar is that it can detect long-distance targets day and night, and is not blocked by fog, clouds and rain, has the characteristics of all-weather, all-day, and has a certain penetrating ability. Therefore, it has not only become an indispensable electronic equipment in the military, but also widely used in socio-economic development (such as meteorological forecasting, resource exploration, environmental monitoring, etc.) and scientific research (astronomical research, atmospheric physics, ionospheric structure research, etc.).

    Spaceborne and airborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) have become very important sensors in remote sensing today. Radars targeting the ground can detect the precise shape of the ground. Its spatial resolution can range from a few meters to tens of meters, regardless of distance.

    Radar has also shown good application potential in flood monitoring, sea ice monitoring, soil moisture survey, forest resource inventory, geological survey, etc.

    1. Bionics in life includes radar, jellyfish ear storm instrument, thin-shell architectural design, navigator, fly's eye camera, etc., and the research scope of bionics mainly includes: mechanical bionics, molecular bionics, energy bionics, information and control bionics, etc.

    2. Mechanical biomimicry is the study and imitation of the static properties of the gross structure and fine structure of organisms, as well as the relative movement of various components of organisms in the body and the dynamic properties of the movement of organisms in the environment.

    1.Bats and radars.

    Bats have a skill called "echolocation". Radar was invented based on the principle of "echolocation" of bats. Researchers from the University of Leeds in the United Kingdom have successfully developed a "bat crutch", which can emit a kind of sonar wave that cannot be heard by the human ear, and help the blind detect the distance of obstacles through the strength of the vibration.

    2.Flies and cameras.

    The compound eyes of flies observe objects more carefully and comprehensively than we humans. Fluorescent lights that flicker 60 times per second may not be noticeable at all, but flies can easily see them. The Americans invented the "fly's eye" aerial camera based on the principle of the fly's compound eye, and astronomy also has an optical instrument called the "fly's eye", which is designed according to the structure of the fly's compound eye.

    3.Butterflies and security banknotes.

    There are many small pits on the butterfly wings, the bottom of the pit is yellow, and the slope of the pit is blue, when the sun shines on the butterfly wings, due to the refraction of light, the butterfly wings seen by the human eye are green. According to this phenomenon, people have also set up many small holes in paper money or credit cards, so that no matter how realistic the counterfeit money is, it is difficult to escape the "magic eye" of optical equipment.

    4.Fireflies and artificial cold light.

    The luminescence of fireflies is essentially the process of converting the chemical energy of two substances into light energy. Scientists have chemically synthesized fluorescein. A biological light source made of a mixture of some substances such as fluorescein and water can act as a flash lamp in a mine filled with ** gas, and this light will not detonate the gas.

    5.Downwind ears of jellyfish.

    Imitation of the structure and function of jellyfish ears, the jellyfish ear storm instrument is designed, which can make a forecast of the storm 15 hours in advance, which is of great significance to the safety of navigation and fishery.

    6.Electronic frog eyes.

    This electronic frog eye can identify objects of a specific shape with the same accuracy as a real frog eye. After the electronic frog eye is installed in the radar system, the anti-jamming ability of the radar is greatly improved. Electronic frog eyes are also widely used in airports and traffic arteries.

    At the airport, it can monitor the take-off and landing of aircraft, and can issue an alarm if it detects that the aircraft is about to collide.
