Biomimicry​

 

Our idea involves the hydrogels cooling, and evaporating, causing air currents. These air currents are present from other creatures within the ecosystem. We want to compare our final product to something existing in nature because it truly shows how this is a cost-effective, eco-friendly way to cool a room.

 

Surprisingly, unless you already know, bugs such as termites and various ants that find a home in wooded areas like tree bases, shape their homes.

 

In order to have air within their homes and tunnels, they create currents inside their homes, thus providing suitable housing in trees. This makes our experiment of using hydrogels to do a similar task, along with cooling air very unique because it copies a helpful procedure that just a simple termite can undergo, and bring it into our home.

Of course, the kicker is that it saves the planet at the same time, by reducing costs of electric, and making things such as Air Conditioner units less important, helping making the world a better place.

 

 

Also, Biomimicry is present within the evaporation task, which is within almost anything with a vertebrae. Animals such as dogs use evaporation by cooling their own bodies.
