HOW NATURE HELPS SCIENCE

We have water food fresh air and

stunning Landscapes thanks to nature,but

it also contributes to the development

of modern Technologies people create

incredible inventions inspired by

different animals and plants let's find

out which

ones the hook and loop Fastener on our

clothes appeared thanks to the beroch

plant in the distant 40s of the last

century Swiss engineer George de mastell

was walking with his dog and noticed

that several birrs clung to his Pet's

fur the scientist decided to study the

plant carefully and saw small hooks that

allowed it to stick to many surfaces

inspired by their design George created

a fastener for clothes patented it and

called it

velcro to make solar panels efficient a

team of scientists from Princeton

University paid attention to plant

their leaves are covered with small

folds directed toward the light this

allows plants to receive and absorb much

more energy researchers created solar

panels with similar designs the result

exceeded all expectations the folds on

the surface of the device increased the

panel's efficiency by almost

50% the Lotus inspired scientists to

create a self-cleaning

paint beautiful plants floating in the

water can effectively repel moisture

from the surface of their leaves thanks

to a unique coating any liquid rolls Off

The Leaf without catching

on at the end of the 20th century one

German Construction Company used this

natural technology to create a unique

paint as soon as it dries the product

gets covered with a texture similar to

that of a Lotus thanks to this the paint

can repel dust moisture and

dirt.

A dragonfly can reach the average speed

of a car moving along a city road with

three flaps of its wings the breaking

distance of this creature is almost

zero two pairs of long narrow Wings in

the middle of its body move

independently allowing the dragonfly to

catch any Target and fly away from any

enemy scientists and Engineers couldn't

miss such a design created by Nature one

of the leading helicopter manufacturing

companies was inspired by the shape of

the dragonfly's

wings look at the blades of most of

these flying machines and the wings of

this insect they have almost the same

shape modern copters partly copy their

technology from the flight of a

dragonfly moreover this insect's

physical form helped NASA Engineers

create a unique spacecraft for a voyage

to Titan in

2027 the mission called dragonfly is an

expedition to Neptune's satellite that

will be carried out on a multi-rotor

device resembling the

insect Titan's atmosphere is four times

denser than Earth's so studying this

planet requires a device with the

dragonfly's High maneuverability and

speed why did comic book authors get

inspired by a spider to create a

superhero crawling on walls but

scientists didn't because there are an

anal that can stick to smooth surfaces

much more effectively and one of these

animals is a

gecko if you look at its paws under a

microscope you will see that they're

covered with hundreds of tiny bristles

and these bristles consist of hundreds

of smaller

ones when these tiny hairs come into

contact with any smooth surface.
