Biomimicry — Observing What Works In Nature
It turns out that people are looking to nature for clues about how things work more efficiently. Yep, Mother Nature already created lots of wheels, if we take the time to observe.
Biomimicry, the imitation of natural structures or processes, has already led to a number of technological advancements, from aerodynamic vehicle and building design to sophisticated surface membranes. It’s a field which continues to grow and has much to offer the energy sector. For instance, solar technology owes a debt to leaf and plant systems, and researchers are still learning lessons from whales and hummingbirds on how drag affects wind turbine blades....
