Thanks for the feedback, @corwinchelway9969! Just to clarify, my intention was never to clickbait anyone, but its good to know that it happened, so I can work on improving to ensure it doesn't happen again. The connection between seed robots and disaster zones, actually comes directly from the research paper itself: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35997434/ Now the authors of the study argue that given that seed robots are lightweight, easy to deploy from the air, and can navigate through areas that are otherwise hard to access, it makes them ideal for disaster zones. For example, areas where UAVs struggle due to smoke, strong winds or just the need for close-up exploration, seed robots are a perfect fit. I do understand though, that the current prototype has limitations, but in the future the concept would be to use them as ground-level scouts, to complement other existing tools like radar. Thanks for the help!

I'll give it to you, that's a fair point. A person flying over could definitely gather wide-area intel. But this robot serves a different purpose. It's designed for situations where aerial views fall short: dense smoke, strong winds, collapsed buildings or tunnels filled with debris where humans can't reach safely. Think of them as an army of ground-level scouts, ready to explore where no human can go!

@@BioBytee Radar is a thing

@@edgarhilbert4797 I agree radar is a really good tool, especially for wide-area scanning. Some examples of radars used in search and rescue are ground-penetrating radar, doppler radar and synthetic aperture radar. Although, they are generally good at detecting movement, it doesn't provide localized detailed data. That's where these robots come in. They're not meant to replace but to complement it by verifying radar signals.

Now, that one I would buy. Especially, given that new year celebrations are round the corner.

Its an interesting comment. Now the idea that you propose of combining a hovercraft and a snowmobile track is quite smart. You solve the problem of quicksand that rovers suffer from and moving over large rocks through levitation. Now one challenge that we might face is the limitation of ground effect on Mars. The Martian atmosphere is only 1% as dense as Earth's, meaning there is less air to compress to create the cushion needed for lift. I'm happy to discuss more life mechanisms and get to know you more through email: biobyte0@gmail.com.

hahah tough one to see that familiarity

I agree, that's a great point! The first Shinkansen 500 cruised at 130mph. The new ones go a lot faster. Actually the fastest commercial used train is China's Shanghai Maglev Train which reaches 431 km/h (268 mph)

Actually it does have somewhat of a resemblance

That is true, great point. They're getting faster and faster. Although I wonder if they will ever reach the hyperloop speeds. The first Shinkansen train ran at 130mph: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinkansen

There is little we have invented that has not had its origin in something we have observed in nature. As just one example, consider that ants farm aphids and fungi, so even agriculture, arguably the foundation of human civilization, is something that ants were doing much before us.

​@@brianjacobs247 very interesting! I wasn't familiar with ants farm aphids. But do you think we took or can take inspiration from ants farms to develop agricultural technology?

@@BioBytee The basic concept of farming is what we may have learned by observing ants; agriculture, from observing ants that cultivate fungi, and animal husbandry from ants that cultivate aphids. We may have thought about flight from observing trees that produce seeds that can glide, or dandelion seeds that can float on the breeze for larger distances. Bats and dolphins use sonar, sound echo-location. Termites build their huge towers using a cellular construction system, which is basically pillars supporting a dome, which is the classical form that underlies all our construction. Bees make hexagonal cells, which we now understand to be the most efficient use of materials as well as the best load-bearing structural form. We may have learned to make flutes by hearing the sound the wind made when blowing across the holes drilled by worms in reeds by the river. We learned to make better and faster planes by observing the wings of birds like falcons, faster vehicles by observing the streamlined bodies of cheetahs. Just when we think that nature has no more to teach us, we observe how some obscure species of fungi deals with radiation or oil pollution. We probably observed the immense power of a waterfall crashing into the pool at its base and learned to make water-wheels. Or we observe the simplest and most basic foundation of all life on earth, photosynthesis, and we figure out how we can draw energy directly from sunlight.

​@@brianjacobs247 Wow man. I'm honestly out of words. I wasn't expecting this! Your comment is a treasure of knowledge, and will definitely help me out for future videos. Thank you so much for your help! I'd love to stay in contact with you and exchange ideas. Feel free to reach me at my email, if you would be interested in exchanging thoughts: biobyte0@gmail.com. You sound like a very interesting person to talk to!

Hahaha, I'm also a big fan of iron man!

That's a good point. Thanks for the feedback and for helping the tribe grow!

I confirm I am a human being...

Reduced mobility due to old age. After a debilitating disease. People with ALS, or other muscle conditions. Unless for work related purposes where additional strength is necessary this isn't meant for the general public to wear for fun.

@@andrewwatts1997 yes that's definitely an application where the technology would be very useful. Good call! I'm currently doing research on Muscular dystrophies, like Duchenne and it really is a horrible disease. Exosuits could definitely help people with this disease, especially for every day movement. However, most people suffering from muscular dystrophies die from cardiomyopathy. That's where gene therapies have to come in.

I'm many years ahead of everyone on this. I will be registering my LLC soon so I may sell equity to produce my products. You're right that current tech is clunky and poorly engineered.

@@jonathanchampagne7683 pretty impressive. Did you look into soft exosuits? I'll leave you a link in case it helps: biodesign.seas.harvard.edu/soft-exosuits

Hi @aleksandardronjak2952, thanks for commenting. I'm sure you can find something useful in this video, especially when we talk about nature. Who knows, you might use this knowledge to build a new adhesive product in the future!

Hi @corwinchelway9969, you bring up a good point! I totally get why at first glance you would think water activation and fibrillary adhesive structures (aka the hairs), not to be a secret. For me, what makes it feel like a 'secret' is that two unrelated organisms came up with a similar solution at the micron level, to solve the sticking problem. However, your not able to see this 'secret' unless you zoom in with a scanning electron microscope. What do you think?

I agree! Big fan of nature!

What makes you think its AI?

That's a good point! This coating is cured by UV rather than being a 'UV-protective' coating. Traditional coatings require heat and multiple chemical processes to ensure proper curing and adhesion. What sets UV-cured coatings apart is the speed and efficiency, for example it just takes seconds to cure, simplifying the process and reducing energy usage compared to traditional coatings. Thanks for pointing this out!

Glad you found it funny

Hi @hazzar7784, yes I think you bring up a valid point. There is evidence that SUVs, trucks or vans create a greater risk to pedestrians in accidents. The main reason, is there high front end profile striking higher up in the body of the pedestrian, which often leads to more severe injuries. Now here comes what I think is interesting. If you were to incorporate these horn ridges in the front end of the car, it could spread out the impact force over a larger area. It could also transform impact energy into less harmful forms, like shear forces. However, these ridges could impact the aerodynamics of the vehicle, and might be tougher to manufacture. What do you think?

@BioBytee worth looking into. Not sure how much aerodynamics really matter though. Most vehicles never need to go over 100km really. The big blocky trucks, I can't imagine their made with aerodynamics in mind lol

@@hazzar7784 great point lol! Interesting discussion.

Thanks man! Appreciate the support!

Thanks man. That's nice of you. Don't worry bro I'm not going anywhere. Appreciate it💪

No its AI.

Working on it @sigurdmodin9594. Thanks for the feedback!

It would be amazing right? Thanks for the comment @ShannonJosephGlomb

I know right! Also a big fan of nature. Thanks for the comment @austindavies6371

Hi @eyesopened1874, honestly thanks for sharing. I had never heard of Dr. James Tour before. It was quite interesting looking into his work. I agree with you that early version of features like bird wings probably weren't as efficient as they are today. Where I have to disagree with you, is that those 'imperfect' versions likely offered some benefits. For example, proto-wings likely helped with gliding, balance or even temperature control, which would have given an edge in survival and adaptation. Regarding Dr James Tour, it's true that we haven't created a living cell in the lab, after all we're still trying to make affordable lab grown burgers. But scientists have discovered many important processes like the Krebbs cycle, which provides information into how early life might have functioned. And as for "doing the math"; its inaccurate to think that the probability was small, given the vast timescales and molecular interactions on the early earth.

Thanks for the comment! You can find the full video here: ruclips.net/video/4kqYAT2xJLs/видео.html

Hi rorkgoose614, thanks for commenting! Well, looking at the first part of your comment, I think this is partly due to a misunderstanding. The idea that I tried to get through, is that sometimes just mere iteration and perfection of available technology may not always result in a breakthrough. Many times, innovation comes from a completely new approach. I agree with you that telegraphs do not equal propellers. It was more of an example where innovation has come from embracing a new approach. For example, the internet is our current system of communication, which did not evolve through an improvement of the telegraph but rather through innovations in computer science. Then moving on to the second part, which I think is exciting! You do bring up a good point about emergency stopping in submarines; something that I hadn't thought of. Currently, when the submarine experiences an emergency, propellers are reversed. However, due to inertia, the submarine cannot stop immediately. Now, to answer your question, I would propose adding emergency flaps to the submarine, like how airplanes use the flaps as air brakes. However, given that water is 800 times more viscous than air, meaning that water resists deformation and flow more than air does; the resistance due to flaps would develop significant drag, making the submarine decelerate faster compared to when an airplane employs flaps. I have to say, I loved this question, because it made me think. Thanks!

Thanks for the insights @rowgler1. I will take a look and get back to you!. Thank you!!!

Hi rowgler1, very interesting what you brought up! Thanks! I looked into it further and was really impressed with the prototype that Harry Bryant created. I'd love to hear more about your scaled up version, feel free to email me at biobyte0@gmail.com

Hahah thanks @jamesmcfarlin8739. You will have to show me one day, how to talk to turtles!

I didn't take that into account 🤣

Thanks for commenting @randomnumbers84269. I think the military would definitely be interested in this technology, especially if it could help prevent their submarines from being detected by the enemy...

Haha, thanks for the interesting comment, @SGT_RPGames. 1) When I said, "if that were the case we'd all still be using Morse code," I showed a telegraph because, as you remarked, Morse code was invented by Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail in the 1830s to encode textual information into electrical signals suitable to be processed by the telegraph. That is why I found it relevant to show an image of the telegraph when referring to Morse code in the video. 2) In the second part of your comment, while raising some good points, I have to respectfully disagree. Morse code and binary code do differ in purpose, and here they are: - A variable-length, human-interpretable telegraph communication code is what Morse code is. Letters are represented by sequences of dots and dashes. The binary code is a fixed-length, machine-processed language of computers; it represents all types of data in a digital format using ones and zeros, not just text. Besides that, internet communication relies on complex protocols, for instance, TCP/IP, HTTP, and SSL/TLS, which control how data is transmitted, its error checking, and its security. Morse code does not embody such protocols nor embedded error-checking mechanisms. Binary data are sent using some modulation technique-amplitude, frequency, or phase modulation-to encode bits over the media. Morse Code has limited representation to alphanumeric characters, without supporting functionalities as extended in modern digital communication. Whereas the telegraph and Morse code were ground-breaking technologies which had revolutionized communication in their day, the internet grew from the computer science and networking developments of the mid-20th century, and principally from the ARPANET innovation. Such an equation seriously over-simplifies the advance of technologies; it also sidesteps the complexity of today's digital communication systems, which far outreaches the level of simplicity in Morse code and the telegraph. Therefore, it would be incorrect to refer to ones and zeroes of the Internet of today as today's Morse code.

Thanks for your comment @mubasherahmed3681. Interesting you say that, when the video is based on a scientific research paper. Now, I'm curious, what makes you think its Ai generated?

Thanks for your comment @MrJacknutz. That is a great way of putting it!

Thanks @ctaylor1460. Very interesting comment. I would think that the less cavitation you have in a propulsion system, the higher the efficiency. What do you think?

@@BioBytee Yes, of course. A blade propeller can spin only so fast before cavitation results; after that efficiency drops off rapidly with an increasing angular frequency vector. As a result, a propeller with a slower rotation, but with a greater blade surface area will (all things being equal) result in greater efficiency, which translates into greater speed.

@ctaylor1460 I have to say I'm finding this discussion very interesting. I wonder if your expertise are in marine engineering. Going back to our discussion, I agree with you that increasing blade surface area, with slower rotation, will inherently result in increased efficiency. However, I would argue that introducing a larger blade surface area, could increase turbulence, decreasing the vessels performance due to a larger wake formed behind the propeller. I would also argue that increased turbulence could compromise stealth, making the submarine detectable. Also large propellers have a more mass and inertia reducing the manoeuvrability. Would be great to know your thoughts on these points.

Thanks @alexrivera7341 for your comment. That's beauty of it, it's not a bot. Just a curious guy with a mission.

True. Submarines and heavy vessels are impractical without significant advances in materials science and control mechanisms. For now, smaller crafts and robotics. But if it really works wonders. I’m sure they’ll scale, especially if it saves power.

Thanks, @srinivaskalyan9672. That's a good point you're making. Whale sharks, which are the largest fish species in the world, use sub-carangiform swimming. A fully grown adult whale shark, which is around 20 meters (approximately 66 feet) in length, might have a tail size of 3 to 4 meters (10 to 13 feet). Now, a U.S. military submarine can be 110 meters (360 feet) in length. This means it's about five times longer than a whale shark's tail. Therefore, to move a submarine, you would theoretically need a tail of 20 meters (66 feet), which accounts for around 20% of the submarine's body length-similar to the proportion of the tail to body length in a whale shark. In terms of energy, the requirement is relatively low because submarines don't have to move very fast.

I get it sir but if the point is onyl reducing the noise then this would work . But it’s about driving the submarine . Also we increase the length of the submarine to 20 to 25% based on your stats in the previous comment making it more vulnerable to torpidos and other stuff . May be if someone doesn’t care about the size then it’s fine . Also then 20 to 25% increase in length would increase material cost . Also there is a continuous stress on the links increasing the fatigue so the link should be made from expensive materials . So resources are being wasted . Even if it is wasted what was it all for reduce sound ? 😂
