Biomimicry in 
Mobility 
Vishal
What is Biomimicry? 
• Study of nature's models and then uses these designs and processes 
to solve problems.
Why do we need it?

Aerodynamics 
• coefficient of drag (Cd) -The force of air 
resistance on an object. 
• At 112 Km/h there's four times more force 
working against the car than at 56 Km/h
Aerodynamics- Inspiration from nature 
• In Japan, the 500-series bullet 
trains could travel 300 km/h 
but the sound levels exceeded 
environmental standards. 
• source of noise: 
• atmospheric pressure wave 
forced in front of the train as it 
traveled through a narrow tunnel, 
creating a sonic boom at the exit. 
• Another source of noise was the 
pantograph.
Aerodynamics- Inspiration from nature 
• Kingfishers move quickly from air, a low-resistance 
(low drag) medium, to water, a 
high-resistance (high drag) medium. 
• The beak is streamlined, steadily increasing in 
diameter from its tip to its head. 
• This reduces the impact as the kingfisher 
essentially wedges its way into the water, 
allowing the water to flow past the beak 
rather than being pushed in front of it. 
• To reduce the pantograph's noise -structures 
to the main part of the pantograph to create 
many small vortices. This is similar to the way 
an owl's primary feathers have serrations that 
create small vortices instead of one large one.
Aerodynamics- Inspiration from nature 
• The more streamlined Shinkansen train not 
only travels more quietly, it now travels 10% 
faster and uses 15% less electricity.
Stability: Inspired from nature 
• Box Fish 
• Due to its trapezoidal or triangular shape, 
and flattened back (its keel), the boxfish is 
able to create self-stabilizing vortices using 
the turbulent water itself.
Stability: Inspired from nature
Stability: Inspired from nature 
• Bionic Car 
• super-aerodynamic: drag coefficient of 0.19 
• Length/width/height - 4243/1815/1594 mm 
Wheelbase - 2568 mm 
• Engine output - 103 kW/140 hp Max. torque - 
300 Nm at 1600-3000 rpm 
• Fuel consumption (combined) - 4.3 l/100 km; 
• Acceleration 0-100 km/h - 8.2 s 
• Max. speed - 190 km/h
Tires 
• Tires Weakest part of military vehicle. 
• If damaged, mobility stops
Tires- Inspiration from nature 
• Honeycomb bordered by a thick black tread. 
• This nature inspired design does not only have: 
• Great load bearing capacity 
• Reduces excess heat and noise generated during 
use, two common problem with past applications.
Windshield- Inspiration from nature 
• Hydrophobic surface allows self-cleaning:
