What are the examples of biomimicry? What are the examples of biomimicry?

Examples of biomimicry are:Fireflies and artificial cold light, as well as electric fish and voltaic batteries.

1. Fireflies and artificial cold light:In nature, the light emitted by fireflies does not produce heat, so it is also called "cold light". The cold light emitted by fireflies not only has a high luminous efficiency, but also the cold light emitted is generally very soft, which is very suitable for human eyes, and the intensity of the light is relatively high.

Therefore, biolight is a kind of light that is ideal for human beings. Scientists created fluorescent lamps by studying the luminous apparatus in the belly of fireflies, which changed the source of human lighting a lot. Now, scientists have used the invention of cold light, which is close to biological light, as a safety lighting, which is called "artificial cold light".

2. Electric Fish and Volt Battery:This extraordinary ability of electric fish has aroused great interest among scientists. At the beginning of the 19th century, the Italian physicist Volt designed the world's first battery based on the electric fish power generation organ.

Because this battery is designed based on the natural electrical power generation of electric fish, it is called an "artificial electric organ". In addition to batteries, there is another idea that is theoretically possible, but not realized: if we can successfully imitate the power generation organ of an electric fish, then the power problem of all means of transportation can be well solved.

Biomimicry in small insects are:

Fly & Gas Analyzers, Odor Detectors, Fly's Eye Lenses.

The flies we hate are generally classified as pests, but the wings of flies are natural navigators. Moreover, its eyes are a kind of "compound eye", which is composed of more than 3,000 small eyes, and people imitate it to make a "fly's eye lens".

It is a new type of optical element with a wide range of uses, and a "fly's eye camera" is made of a lens neatly arranged and combined with hundreds or thousands of small lenses, which can take thousands of identical photos at a time. This camera is used in printing plates and in large quantities to reproduce the tiny circuits of electronic computers, greatly improving efficiency and quality.

In addition, through the sensitive properties of flies to odors, a very peculiar "small gas analyzer" has been successfully imitated. It has been installed in the cockpit of a spacecraft to detect the composition of the gas in the cabin. Therefore, we cannot define flies as pests in an absolute way.

1) Bats & Radar.

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) Electronic frog eyes.

According to the visual principle of frog eyes, people have successfully developed 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.

This radar system can quickly and accurately identify specific shapes of aircraft, ships, missiles, etc. In particular, it can distinguish between real and fake missiles and prevent the real from being confused with the real.

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. In the traffic arteries, it can direct the driving of vehicles and prevent the occurrence of vehicle collisions.

3) Jellyfish's downwind ears and jellyfish ear storm ** instrument.

The downwind ears of jellyfish, imitating the structure and function of jellyfish ears, designed the jellyfish ear storm instrument, which can make a forecast of the storm 1 5 hours in advance, which is of great significance to the safety of navigation and fishery.

1. Human beings invented artificial cold light based on fireflies.

2. Human beings invented the jellyfish ear storm meter based on the downwind ears of jellyfish.

3. Humans invented ultrasonic radar based on bats.

4. Human beings invented the corrugated roof based on the scale armor of animals.

5. Humans invented the oar based on the fins of fish.

Bats and radar, scientists invented radar by studying the sound waves emitted by bats, and after encountering obstacles, the sound waves are reflected back, and bats can accept the principle of this sound wave. This is an example of the concrete application of biomimicry.

When the bat is flying, it emits a sound wave from its mouth, which is ultrasound, and when it encounters an obstacle, it will be reflected back, and the bat's ears can receive this sound wave, and can read the distance and direction, so that it can accurately bypass the obstacle and continue to fly. Scientists invented radar by studying this.
