Hello!
For this lesson, we are supposed
to find objects that were inspired by nature. We were told to walk around
school and take pictures that are relevant to that day’s lesson. So here are
the pictures that were taken!
Well as you can see, it’s pretty
cool huh? It’s not a lot but….yeah.
There are some things that are man made which were inspired by nature but we just don't notice it. But apparently, it is very easy for some of us to be inspired by nature because nature is beautiful and it is easy. Here are some research that i have made.
The inspiration for this design derived from two animals. The first is from the plumage of an owl. The plumage of owls has evolved to reduce air resistance and noise, which played an important factor during design of the train. The reason is because the feathers of the owl are known as 'saw toothed wave feathers' designed to generate small vortexes in the airflow that then further breaks up larger vortexes which thus reducing noise. Secondly, the front sharp nose cone design of the rain was inspired by the kingfisher's aerodynamic beak.
Here are some of other examples too!
Thanks for reading! Bye!
