The summary is:
This is a transcript of a video by Yan Gordienko, a popular science blogger, who talks about biomimicry, the science of copying nature's solutions for human problems. He gives examples of how engineers have learned from animals and plants to create better designs, such as Velcro, wind turbines, drones, and artificial oases. He also explains the four levels of biomimicry, from copying forms to creating ecosystems. He argues that nature has more experience and efficiency than humans, and that we should learn from it instead of trying to invent something new. He also promotes a game called War Thunder and a contest for his viewers.
Here are some possible facts extracted from the text:
1. Scientists in South Korea's Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR) facility have managed to sustain a nuclear fusion reaction running at temperatures in excess of 100 million°C for 30 seconds for the first time.
2. The core of the Sun has a temperature of 15 million degrees kelvins.
3. Franz Reichelt was an inventor who died by jumping from the Eiffel Tower with a wingsuit that failed to open in 1912.
4. Biomimicry is a science that copies from nature to create useful solutions for human problems.
5. Velcro was invented by George de Mestral, who was inspired by the hooks on the prickles that clung to his dog's hair.
6. The wing shape of airplanes is based on the principle of Bernoulli's law, which explains how the albatross can hover for hours without a single stroke.
7. The Morpho butterfly has a blue color that is not due to pigments, but to the microstructure of its wings that reflects only blue light.
8. The woodpecker has four devices that protect it from head injuries when it knocks on wood: a rigid but elastic beak, a porous skull, a small compartment with liquid, and a spring bone that supports the tongue.
9. Murmuration is a defense mechanism of birds that confuses predators by moving in synchrony.
10. The Sahara Forest Project is an artificial oasis that uses seawater evaporation and structures inspired by the camel's nose and the desert beetle's shell to create fresh water and grow plants in the desert.
