In this article people study in the ocean and take the ideas of how the animals live and how they work.Scientist do investigations and take this information and make new inventions. Such as the Wright brother who were the first to actually achieve the goal of "flying."They made their plane by gathering ideas from a bird, the soaring eagle. Everyone tried ones that will have to flap their wings all the time but the gliding idea worked the best. (Dr.) investigated whales to understand how turbines work. With studying the whales he saw that the whales had these blades in this flippers and he compared in with the turbines now and the ones with the "whale" blades had produce 20 % more energy. Another study showed that we are always burning coal and its always producing carbon dioxide and the water is producing 40% of the carbon dioxide and they are becoming more acidic. Problems that produce from this is the phenomenon that is slowing animals such as the turtle and they also stick to boats that slow them and affect them as well. (DR) saw this problem and researched animals that were naturally stearclear to this problem and he saw that sharks were the ones that kept clean so he investigated and saw that the sharks skin was the solution. He made and investigated the pattern and put in a synthetic wrap, then the intention was to put it on boats. From this you can see that biomimicry is useful for everyday useful resources such as boats and windmills.
Reflection
In my opinion i think that these examples are a very good examples of how we can use nature to help us in technology. I think these are good because understanding nature can help us advance our tools today. What i mean by using nature and it being useful is the way the scientist applied the "whale" blades was very smart. It was smart because it produced more energy than the other types of windmills. It is important to know and learn about our surroundings because as shown in the studies they can benefit us. This can benefit us with introducing new ideas to the science field that would me more advanced such as the way they applied the skin of the shark on to the boat. This is an important concept because we can always benefit from new ideas and technology can help us understand the living organism on earth.
