Biomimicry
  1. Namibian Desert Beetle and the Sturo machine
    1. The Namibian desert beetle has lumps on its back that collect water from fog in the air. the water then runs down the beetles back from the bumps into its mouth. like the beetle, the sturo machine doest the same and collects water from the fog.
    2. Eco-machine and aquatic ecosystems
      1. The eco machine is used to turn dirty/oily water into clean and re-usable water. The eco-machine was inspired by aquatic eco-systems.
      2. Reed beds and water filtering
        1. In Marmul/Oman people have designed a water filtering system that can turn dirty water into re-usable water. There are four steps of reeds, the water runs down the steps and so the reeds take out any dirt and the water can be used again.
        2. Flamingo and Bidirectional turbine
          1. Based on the way a flamingo feeds, BiomiVal has developed a bidirectional turbine that can profit from the great energy that comes from the sea and show interesting increases of energy profit.
          2. Bio-power and Under-water plants
            1. An Australian company Bio-power systems have developed bio-wave, inspired by the underd water plants. a system that mimics the moyion of under-water plants to generate great amounts of electricity.
            2. Cactus water and Cowboys
              1. In very hot deserts such as the ones in America, there are cowboys. Sometimes these cowboys travel across the deserts to different places. They can run out of water aswell so in these hot deserts cactuses grow and cactuses contain water inside of them. So therefor the cowboys vut open the cactuses and refill or drink there water.

                    2. Whale powered wind turbine
                      1. Humpback whales have bumps on their fins, these fins help them to glide through the water. DR. Frank fish at the uni of west, Chesterfield in Pennsylvania found out that these bumps made an animal as bid and as clumsy as a whale extreamly adgile. The bumps reduce drags and lifts the whales body more. Dr. Fish was inspired after descovering this, and so he invented what is now called whale power.
