Take stock of ten unique creative designs

Have you ever thought that a square fish can inspire the design of cars? And the algae mixture can help us defeat those stubborn drug-resistant bacteria? Besides, swimming fish can inspire people to design more efficient wind power stations? The ocean contains infinite inspiration, inspiring people to make all kinds of designs and inventions, from robots to breakthroughs in various biomedical fields. The following are ten marine-related designs and inventions.

Box Mercedes;

The Mercedes in the picture looks like a box. Box bream is a kind of hard-scaled fish that lives in tropical areas and swims very fast. "Its skeleton is rectangular, very much like a car," explained Daimler, who led a scientific team to analyze the skeletal characteristics of fish, including its hard skin. You know, this kind of skin can hide the secret of swimming speed of box bream. Due to its small size and built-in direct injection diesel engine, the speed of this Mercedes-Benz can reach 1 13 km per gallon.

Squid robot:

Robots are the best choice when some dangerous underwater tasks such as searching for minerals on the seabed are needed. Through bionics technology, they are designed with precise operation actions and faster operation speed, and use less fuel. Such a robot is undoubtedly a perfect and efficient expert. This kind of "squid robot" was designed by the Department of Ship and Ocean Engineering of Osaka University in Japan. By exerting the physical characteristics of marine animals such as squid and installing rubber plates on both sides of the robot, it can fly in the water. Another advantage of this design is that the robot can be completely under human control even under very unstable conditions.

Nautilus:

The geometric world seems to be dominated by some so-called numbers and models, including Nautilus, which is famous for its "golden section spiral". Nautilus has been discovered countless times in nature, and its spiral extension follows the golden section ratio. This proportion not only brings a sense of visual harmony, but also enhances the firmness of the overall structure. If you carefully observe any spiral staircase, you will find a spiral similar to a shell. You know, it's not accidental.

Coral reef village:

Architect Vincent Gabrielle put forward the idea of imitating dragonflies, water lilies and other animals and plants. The underwater creatures triggered her inspiration, and this coral reef village in the picture was born. This modular housing concept aims to improve the housing conditions in Haiti in crisis. This kind of housing unit has a layered structure and is designed according to the organic composition of coral reefs.

Architectural design with the help of submarine mammal bones;

How is the above building frame completed with the help of the bones of marine mammals? A "Radiolarian" project conducted by Kassel University in Germany answered this question. This study studies the stability of mammalian bone structure and its aesthetic value as a three-dimensional modeling software. Designers apply their observation results to practical operation, and use solid hexagonal cells to complete the construction of network equipment in the figure.
