    This document discusses three ways that biomimicry can be applied to solve design challenges: 1. Mimicking structure - like how the Shinkanzen train's head shape was redesigned based on the streamlined shape of a kingfisher's beak to reduce sonic booms when passing through tunnels. 2. Mimicking processes - like how solar panels convert sunlight to electricity similar to photosynthesis, and how mycotech produces sustainable materials from agricultural waste inspired by the process of making tempeh. 3. Mimicking systems - like how a biorefinery is designed to optimize resource use, minimize waste, and create a cycle like the carbon cycle in ecosystems, where the outputs of one

    Biomimicry
    Biomimicry is a practice that learns from and mimics the strategies
    found in nature to solve human design challenges — and find
    hope along the way*

    ▪ Mimic Structure
    ▪ Mimic Process
    ▪ Mimic System

    Biomimicry
    Innovation Inspired by Nature
    1. Mimic Structure - Shinkanzen Story

    Problem:
    ▪ When Shinkanzen passes
    through a narrow tunnel with
    high speed (>350 km/h), it
    causes a sonic boom noise within
    400 m radius, as it reaches the
    end of the tunnel

    ▪ Residents near the railway


    complaint about the noise

    ▪ The company searching for


    solution (keeping the speed fast
    as well as not to produce noises)
    Behind the Scene: Shinkanzen Story
    ▪ The company tries to find better design of Shinkanzen’s head by
    mimicking nature → Kingfisher’s beak based design

    Not causing a
    sonic boom

    Shinkanzen Story

    “Maafkan aku yang dulu”


    Shinkanzen Story : The Fastest Train on Earth

    Shinkanzen
    The fastest train on earth

    The more streamlined Shinkanzen train not only travels more


    quietly, it now travels 10% faster and uses 15% less electricity.
    2.A Mimic Process - Solar Panel & Photosynthesis
    Problem
    ▪ How to design a device that can harvest
    energy from the sun

    Plant’s leaf Solar panel

    ▪ Converting
    electromagnetic energy
    form the sun into another
    form of energy.
    ▪ Photosynthesis:
    to chemical energy
    ▪ Solar panel :
    to electrical energy
    2.B Mimic Process - Mycotech

    Problem
    How to design a sustainable material which is both eco-friendly and
    strong at the same time

    https://www.mycote.ch/

    Mycotree: “Mycelial tree” made from agricultural waste


    which being tightly bound by fungal mycelia.
    Behind the Scene: Mycotech

    Inspired by the process


    of making tempe

    Producing sustainable
    bio-material

    ▪ Eco-friendly
    Made from agricultural
    waste (rice straw, etc) –
    recycling, and
    biodegradable
    ▪ Strong
    Resistant to certain
    amount of pressure
    and fire

    3. Mimic System – Biorefinery & Circular (Biobased) Economy

    Problem
    ▪ How to design a sustainable economy
    for human wellbeing as well as the
    Erath’s (not too much exploitation and
    harming the environment)
    Behind the Scene: Biorefinery

    ▪ Optimize the use of resource ▪ Making a cycle:


    ▪ Minimize waste produced One output of certain process can
    ▪ Maximize profit & benefit be input for another
    Inspired by Material Cycle in Ecosystem

    ▪ Carbon cycle in the ecosystem:


    Carbon as one output of a certain process,
    being input for another
