Do you know what is the common thing between a Velcro and a Bullet train!?
In simple terms it is BIOMIMICRY!
You have one of the best NATURAL machine in the world! The human or the animal body! The body design of a species has been perfected after millions of years of trial and error (read evolution!)
So Biomimicry is the practice of learning from and mimicking the strategies, forms, and systems of nature to solve human design and engineering challenges.
In this concept you treat treating nature as a mentor rather than a warehouse!
So innovators use 3.8 billion years of evolutionary problem-solving to create sustainable technologies!
In the system you can either copy the form or the biological process or the ecosystem!
Replicating the physical shape or structure of an organism, such as modeling high-speed train fronts after a kingfisher’s beak to eliminate tunnel sonic booms!
Then the copying of the process involves adopting natural chemical or physical processes, like studying how leaves harvest solar energy to improve photovoltaic cells!
Then you also have the copying of the ecosystem in which you design interconnected systems that function like natural communities, such as zero-waste manufacturing or buildings that self-regulate temperature like termite mounds!
The famous real world examples inclue the Japanese and other famous Bullet trains which are modeled after the kingfisher bird, allowing trains to travel faster while using less electricity and eliminating loud shockwaves.
Then you have the Velcro which was Invented after a hiker examined how burrs naturally clung to dog fur using tiny hooks!
Even you have the Whale Power Turbines which uses tubercles (bumps) inspired by humpback whale flippers on blades to increase aerodynamic and fluid efficiency!
So you want to have something great; mimic the nature! The best mimics though are the actors like Srinivasa Sarja! Loved his latest movie Blast!
You may know him as Arjun Sarja!
Now use natural biomimicry to charge yourself! AKA Sleep!
Shubh ratri!
