What did humans invent in imitation of animals?

Invented airplanes, boats, automobiles, ultrasonic positioning systems, and much more.

01 Bats and Radar.

At night, or by artificially covering the bat's eyes, the bat can still fly freely and avoid obstacles.

Scientists invented radar based on the bat echolocation pathfinding method. The role of radar is very wide, we often sit in the plane, it is inseparable from the help of radar, radar through the antenna to send radio waves, radio waves when they encounter obstacles, reflected back, displayed on the electronic instrument. From the electronic instrument of the radar, the pilot can clearly see whether there is an obstacle in front of him and determine the course, which is why the term "blind flight" is used today.

02 Fireflies and artificial cold light.

The electric light invented by scientists illuminates our night. But electric lights can only convert a small part of the electrical energy into visible light, and most of the rest is wasted in the form of heat, and the heat rays of electric lights are not good for the human eye. So, is there a light source that only emits light but does not heat up?

When human beings are at a loss, they turn their attention to nature.

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".

03 Electric Fish with Voltaic Battery.

In addition to the well-known electric eel, there are many fish in nature that can discharge electricity, and people call these fish that can discharge electricity collectively as "electric fish".

The ability of various electric fish discharges varies. The most powerful discharges are electric rays, electric catfish, and electric eels. What is the mystery of electric fish discharge?

After scientists have studied the anatomical study of electric fish, it was finally discovered that there is a strange power generation organ in the electric fish. These generators are made up of many small electric plate cells.

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 according to the natural generator of electric fish, it is called "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.

From frogs, scientists invented electronic frog eyes.

Balance bar under the fly's wings: rocket.

Ultrasonic positioning system for bats: radar.

Night vision for snakes: Infrared system on guns.

Airplane gliders were invented based on birds.

The diaphragm was invented based on the eyes of cats.

1.Succeeded in the imitation of a very peculiar small gas analyzer by a nasty fly. It has been installed in the cockpit of a spacecraft to detect the composition of the gases in the cabin.

2.From fireflies to artificial cold light;

3.Electric fish with volt batteries;

4.The downwind ears of jellyfish, imitating the structure and function of jellyfish ears, designed the jellyfish ear storm instrument, which can predict the storm 15 hours in advance, which is of great significance to the safety of navigation and fishery.

5.According to the visual principle of frog eyes, people have successfully developed an electronic frog eye. 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.

6.According to the principle of the bat ultrasound locator, people also imitated the "pathfinder" for the blindThis pathfinder is equipped with an ultrasonic emitter that a blind person can carry to spot people on electric poles, steps, bridges, etc. Today, "ultrasound glasses" with a similar effect have also been made.

7.An incomplete photosynthesizer that mimics cyanobacteria will be designed to bionic photolyzed water, so that a large amount of hydrogen can be obtained.

8.Based on the study of the human skeletal muscular system and bioelectric control, a human augmenter - a walking machine has been imitated.

9.The hooks of modern cranes originated from the paws of many animals.

10.The roof corrugated roof mimics the scale armor of animals.

11.The oars mimic the fins of a fish.

12.The saw learns the mantis arm, or sawgrass.

13.Xanthium was inspired to invent Velcro.

14.Lobsters with a keen sense of smell provide ideas for people to make odor detectors.

15.Gecko toes offer an encouraging prospect for creating adhesive tapes that can be used over and over again.

16.The colloids produced by shellfish from their proteins are so strong that they can be used for everything from surgical sutures to ship repairs.

The invention of human imitation of animals has flies and cameras, the number of compound eyes of flies is very large, can be quickly and clearly imaged, scientists imitate the structure and function of the compound eye system of flies, with many small lenses of specific properties, they are regularly glued together, and a compound eye lens is made, and it can be used as a lens to make a compound eye camera, which can illuminate thousands of the same pixels at a time, and this camera can be used to make stamps for printing.
