• The Natural systems are– Supremely energy efficient– Pollution free– 100% Waste recycling (Zero waste !)– Aesthetically and spiritually stimulating– Aesthetically and spiritually stimulating– Technologically supreme

• Photosynthesis ---• Firefly vs. Lamps• Eye vs. Cameras• Brain vs. computers• Nerves vs. Transmission wires …

Every plant produce thousands of Chemicals here. However it releases is only Every plant produce thousands of Chemicals here. However it releases is only

Oxygen as emission !!! Oxygen as emission !!! -- Compare it with Our Chemical Factories !Compare it with Our Chemical Factories !

• Power Generation– Electric rays, torpedo rays ..

• Lighting– Bio luminescence (Fireflies ..)– Bio luminescence (Fireflies ..)

• Power transmission– Transmission in biological system (in Brain & Nervous system)

None of our present day Lighting systems can match the efficiency of these fireflies. They almost completely transform

Chemical Energy into Light with zero wastage as heat !

There are no open ended systems in nature,

All are cyclical and self sufficient

Chameleon’s Chameleon’s ColourColour changing mechanism changing mechanism is still a mystery, we are trying hard to understandis still a mystery, we are trying hard to understand

This Morpho butterfly produce colour out of nothing !! The wings are

actually transparent without ant coloured pigments

Can we ever copy this ?!

• Physical Strength–Muscles of grass hoppers are super powerful

• Co-ordination• Co-ordination–Millipede leg movements require a super computer to simulate

• Movement – Snakes, geckos,

Millipede leg movements require a super computer to simulate!

But its primitive brain manage it too well !!

Movement of Snakes are super smooth.

Can we ever copy it on to our vehicles ?!!

If You can understand its feet

You can have a shoes that would defy gravity.

How about walking up on the walls and across the ceiling !!!

Staircases & Ladders would be History !

• Leeches can preserve the ingested blood (without losing the structural the structural integrity of the blood cells) for up to 18 months !

No Blood bank of ours can do this feat !!

• Navigation system–Migratory birds, Slugs, Ants, Honey bees …

• Colouring• Colouring– Flowers, Butterfly wings, …

• Air conditioning– Termites, Bee hives, ….

• Cover ~3000 miles• Southward (Aug- Sep)• The length of these journeys far exceeds journeys far exceeds the lifetime of most Monarchs

• Travel ~50km/ day

Probably we are fast progressing only in this field. We have produced

even more toxic substances than the nature has ever done
