Invention from nature

 

There are many inventions which imitated the animals and nature. Many animals have interesting ability that a human can’t do like lizard’s growing tail.

 

First invention is velcro. It motivated an plant, Xanthium strumarium. Its one side is rough, and the other side is soft. When this two side meet, they stick together.

 

Second invention is flippers. When we use flippers, we can swim faster than before. This is similar with duck’s web. If ducks didn’t have a web, they could not swim well because water goes through. But when there is a web, it push water and help ducks swim faster.


Third invention is swimming suits. Some swimming suits can make swimmers faster. Then, people wear a swimming suit which copied shark’s skin. Shark’s skin is convex. This skin helps sharks swim well by swirling away from their body.

 

Last invention is a excavator. When its shovel is smooth, it can’t dig hard ground. so they make a wave on the shovel. This is similar with a mole’s forefoot.

 

There are many necessities related with nature, animals, and plants. Some of them is not known too. There are some news that scientist are researching about lizard’s regenerative capacity. So we may expect other inventions from nature.
