What are the things invented by biomimicry, and what are the biomimetic inventions

Biomimicry gives 15 examples:

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 blind. This 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.

Dive dinghys, ***, fighter jets, kayaks, dragon boats, and many more.

1. Bats and radar.

Bats emit a kind of ultrasound wave that comes back when it encounters an object, but humans can't hear it. Before it was discovered that bats have ultrasonic ranging and positioning capabilities, humans had already used radar on a large scale, and it was later discovered that radar had the same characteristics as bats. Radar is used in a variety of places, such as:

Airplanes, aviation, etc.

2. Artificial cold light.

Back in the 40s, fluorescent lamps were created based on the study of fireflies, which changed the source of human lighting a lot. Scientists first isolated pure luciferin from the luminous apparatus of fireflies, and later isolated luciferase, and then chemically synthesized fluorescein.

A biological light source composed of a mixture of luciferin, luciferase, ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and water, which can be used as a flash lamp in mines filled with ** gas. Since this light has no power source and does not generate a magnetic field, it can be illuminated by a biological light source to remove magnetic mines. It has been possible to obtain cold light similar to biological light by mixing certain chemicals as a safety lighting.

3. Volt battery.

This extraordinary ability of electric fish has aroused great interest. At the beginning of the 19th century, the Italian physicist Volt designed the world's earliest volt battery based on the electric fish power generation organ.

Because this battery is designed based on the natural generator of electric fish, it is called "artificial electric organ". The study of electric fish also gives people this enlightenment: if the power generation organ of electric fish can be successfully imitated, then the power problem of ships and submarines can be well solved.

4. Thin-shell building.

The eggshell is arched in shape, has a large span, and includes many mechanical principles. Although it is only 2mm thick, it is difficult to break it with a hammer. Architects imitated it for thin-shell architectural designs.

This type of building has many advantages: less material, large spans, and durability. Not all of the thin-shell buildings are arched, and the world-famous Sydney Opera House resembles a group of sails in harbour.

5. Butterflies and biomimicry.

Colorful butterflies are brocade in color, such as heavy moon butterfly, brown vein golden spotted butterfly, etc., especially the fluorescent winged butterfly, whose hind wings are sometimes golden in the sun, sometimes emerald green, and sometimes from purple to blue.

Scientists have been able to study the colors of butterflies to great benefit in military defense. During World War II, the Germans surrounded Leningrad in an attempt to destroy its military targets and other defenses with bombers. Based on the lack of understanding of camouflage at that time, the Soviet entomologist Schwanvich proposed to cover military facilities with butterfly-like camouflage by using the color of butterflies that are not easy to be found in flowers.

Thus, despite the efforts of the German army, the military base in Leningrad remained unscathed, laying a solid foundation for winning the final victory. According to the same principle, later people also produced camouflage uniforms, which significantly reduced the number of ** in battle.
