energy of low-speed blows. World War Two era fighter
plane known as the "Mosquito" was made by compressing wood between

strips of fiber board, making it the most damage-resistant plane of its
time. The rigid, resistant nature of wood make it a very reliable material
because wood breaks or cracks slowly enough to be visible from the out-
side, thus giving people enough time to take the necessary precautions. 26
A material based on the structure of wood can be up to fifty times
more resistant than other synthetic materials currently in use. Today,
27
these unique properties of wood are used against high speed impacts and
destructive fragments such as bombs and bullets. Yet scientists have not
been able, despite their staunchest efforts, to come even close to replicat-
ing a piece of wood with all its many attributes. Every detail in the
Creation of wood, - the thickness of the internal layers, their level of com-
pression, the number of vessels, their layout and the materials inside it,
have been specially created to result in that resistance.

The Hydraulic System That Raises Water Many

Meters against the Force of Gravity

The dead part of wood, known as the "xylem," contains hollow chan-
nels. These, also known as "wood vessels," consist of inanimate cells that
gradually lose their nuclei and cytoplasm, and which are piled one on top
of the other. Long, thin wood vessels form when the membranes between
the cells dissolve and disappear.
Roots spreading out beneath the soil carry the water and minerals
the plant needs upward through these tissues. The water is then trans-
mitted as far as the leaves. The way the roots absorb the water in the
ground is reminiscent of the “test bore technique”. The roots themselves
have no engines to initiate the water absorption process; neither do they
have any technical equipment with which to pump water and minerals
for distances of up to several meters. But the roots absorb the water pre-
sent in the depths of the soil by spreading over a very wide area.
