Efficiency by Taking Inspiration from Nature in the event of a water crisis. It’s simple axially symmetric design allows for
the creation of a robust point of use home water filtration system.
An aircraft winglet is designed to solve the problem of wing tip vortices and
lead to a significant reduction in fuel consumption, weight, noise and a cleaner
56 environment. Its design is inspired from nature. By using modern technology,
like 3D printing, it will help shape the design of aircrafts in the future.
