Bioinspiration
There are a few bioinspiration that were done based on venus flytrap's characteristics. Adaptive optics, morphing turbine and magnetic buttons are the bioinspiration that we have found online. Adaptive optics mimicked the shape changing process of tiny lobes at high speed of Venus flytrap. Complex lens created where the reflectivity of the surface will change to focus by itself. This complex lens is known as adaptive lens which is a method that is widely used by astronomers to correct real-time distortion caused by the turbulence of the earth's atmosphere.
Morphing turbine mimicked venus flytrap's shape changing ability in terms of curvature. Shape memory material is used to produce the rotor blades of morphine turbines. Single element blades of morphing turbine are stiff in structure and implement effective tailoring to produce effective pitch and structure. The advantage of this morphing blade is whenever wind blown towards the wind turbine at any direction, the flow conditions could be adopted and changes its geometry, thus leading turbine spinning with lesser resistance. Besides, electrical consumption and cost for major factory industries can be saved due to low cost needed per kilowatt energy produced.
Magnetic buttons mimicked the shutting mechanism of the venus flytrap jaws. Shutting mechanism of the venus flytrap is where its jaws trap its prey by shutting tightly and leave no space of prey to escape. This mechanism is brought ot the use of magnetic buttons. Magnetic buttons are applicable for clothing. Each pair of jaw consists of opposite poles of magnet namely: North and South. These buttons and easy and convenient when buttoning and unbuttoning shirt.
Industrial Application
The industrial application that can mimick the venus flytap characteristics is automatic rain shelter. As mentioned from industrial application post, automatic rain shelter mimicked the identify system of venus flytrap. The rain shelter can be triggered by having sensitive pressure sensor to sense rain drop and also humid sensor that detect present water. This automatic rain shelter also can differentiate whether it is rain or just birds flying pass. This shelter is applicable to mamak stall where mamak stalls normally consists of indoor and outdoor. Automatic shelter to be implemented at outdoor so they customers do not need to take shelter when it is raining.
Meme
It has been 9 weeks since we bought this plant. After killing a few of it, there are still some that are alive. I found out that if they are exposed to too much sunlight, they will die. Each member fully anticipated for this study and these are our effort put into studying the plant. Without further ado it is time to conclude this blog. Concluded bioinspiration that are available online and also the industrial application that was inspired by this plant are mentioned in this post. Thanks group mates for the time and effort. It is time to close this study and focus on finals.
Interesting post i have been wondering about this issue, so thanks for posting. Pretty cool post. It’s really very nice and Useful post. Thanks
