Task 2
Leonardo da Vinci studied the natural phenomena and their applications in technology.
He was involved in many different branches of science, technology and flying. A sketch
of his flying machine was based on the construction of the bat's wings. The plane flies
at a certain height above the ground. What energy does it have? Calculate the total
energy of the aircraft which mass equals 38,125 kg flying at a height of 10 km above
the ground with the speed of 912km / h.
Task 3

By using the given objects - thin resilient paper, newsprint, a strip of cardboard and
glue, build a flying balloon according to the instructions provided.
Instructions:
1. Tape the edges of the thin paper sheet so to have a sheet with sides measuring 80
cm each. Do six copies of this kind and put them right on top of each other. Draw and
then cut the template of the balloon.
2. Fold the six sections of the balloon exactly in half. Glue them together, inserting the
newsprint between each section in order to separate them.
3. Glue the first section with the last one. Leave it to dry up.
4. Extend the balloon. Plaster its base with a strip of the cardboard. Fill it with warm air
using a hair dryer. Your balloon will lift up.

Task 4
At the beginning of the sixteenth century, a professor of Krakw Academy Jan Mroek
lived in Cracow. In 1612 he proved that bees build cells of honeycombs of a hexagonal
shape because the hexagon has the largest surface area for a given perimeter, and a
hexagonal cell has the greatest volume. A honeycomb cell has the shape of a prism
which base edge is of 4mm and a height is of 10 mm. How much honey can fit in one
cell? How many cells must be emptied by the beekeeper to receive 250 ml of honey?

Task 5
A man and his internal organs were often used as a basis for practical applications.
Based on this, the artificial intelligence systems were created. A conduction of nerve
impulses along the axon (a long projections of a nerve cell - neuron) is held at a
constant velocity which can reach up to 100 m / s in mammals' nervous system.
Present this velocity in km / h and calculate the time it takes the nervous impulse to
travel the entire length of the human body.

kinetic energy would be turned into the potential energy of gravity?
Task 7
The observations of the animal world have given engineers and designers a lot of
ideas. A cheetah is the fastest animal on Earth - its speed reaches 120km / h. On the
basis of observing the movement of the cheetah, the designers used the observed
phenomena in constructing the car chassis. Calculate the cheetah acceleration at the
time of 2 minutes. What kinetic energy will the cheetah have, if its weighs 65 kg?
Task 8
Observations of birds contributed to a number of theoretical and practical applications.
Owls are birds that fly and hunt at night and are able to locate its prey due to their
perfect hearing. The flight of owls is almost inaudible. The so called Owl Technology
was created which is used to solve the problems of Aeroacoustics in the flight industry.
An owl heard the sound of a mouse 0,02s after the sound was transmitted. How far is
the mouse? What is the frequency of the sound? Assume that the velocity of sound in
the air is about 330 m / s.

Tasks with solutions - bionics

What we have to do:

In a warehouse we need to remove certain packages from the pick-up point into a
truck. We want to synchronize the machine that brings the boxes, in a certain
frequency.
To do that, we need to measure the time that our robot needs to pick-up a box with
its prosthetic arm. Then the robot moves backwards at first, and afterwards straight
towards the truck. Release the box at the truck and go back to the pick-up point.

How are we going to do that:

Step 1: Measure the time that our robot needs to pick-up each box ..
sec.
To program the robot to move its prosthetic arm we use the process: we move
manually the arm and the moves are written down in the program.
Then we use a timer to measure the time needed to pick up each box.
Step 2: How is the robot going to move backwards to be ready
at the next step to go straight forward.
We set a negative speed for the left wheel in order to move
backwards and a zero speed for the right wheel in order to turn
and change direction.
To measure the distance needed for the robot to move backwards:
i)

We measure the diameter of the wheel and by dividing by 2 we find the ray of
the wheel.

ii)

We calculate the distance that the wheel takes by turning once. For that we
use the formula S = 2**R

iii)

To calculate the arc needed to be made, we

measure arc S1 with a cord and the use a ruler.
Thus we find the distance needed to me made. Or
we find the angle a and the ray of the arc made and
calculate S1

2 R a
.
360

Either way,(measured by cord or by using the formula)we calculate S 1.

Step 3: How many rotations the robot wheels need to make backwards so our
robot will change direction as shown at step 2.
We calculate

S1
(where S1 is the distance needed to be made and S is the
S

distance made by a full turn of the robots wheel). The ratio gives as the
number of turns the wheel has to turn in order to go the given distance.
Step 4: How many seconds does the robot needs to go backwards: sec
We use a timer to measure time needed.
Its speed is: ..
To find the speed we use the formula u

s1
, where t is the time measured.
t

Step 5: The robot will move 8 meters straight ahead. How is it going to do that?
Speed:

Rotations of its wheels: .

Time: . Sec

We set a positive speed, same at both wheels, in order to move forward.

(Dont set
a very high speed so you will make your measurements easier).
To find how many rotations our robot needs to make, so it will move for 8
meters:
We use S (S is the distance made by a full rotation of our wheel). We
calculated S
before by using the formula: S = 2**R.
8m = 800cm so: number of rotations of the wheel =

800
S

To measure time we use again a timer.

Step 6: Measure the time our prosthetic arm needs to put the box into the truck and
move the arm up again. Time: . sec
To find the command how to make our prosthetic arm put the box into the truck, we
move manually the arm and the moves are written down in the program.

To measure time we use again a timer.

Step 7: The robot now needs to change direction. So we will repeat steps 2 5 so
our robot will be ready to pick up the next box.
We set a negative speed for the left wheel in order to move backwards and a zero
speed for the right wheel in order to turn and change direction. We use the
measurements we made before at step 2. Then we put positive speed for the right
wheel to move forward and zero speed for the left wheel to change direction.
Then follow step 5.
Step 8: Time needed for the whole procedure: .. sec
We add the time needed in each step in order find the time needed for the whole
procedure. Thus we find out the frequency that the boxes will come at the pick up
point.

KINGFISHER - HIGH-SPEED TRAIN

Racing at speeds close to 300 km / h Japanese high-speen Shinkansen train is one
of the fastest trains in the world. Its excellent performance is due to a certain small bird
- a kingfisher.

Shinkansen 500 series

http://eremi.blog.onet.pl/2010/04/25/superekspres-contra-zimorodek/

Nowadays, high-speed trains travel the distances about 10 percent faster and
consume 15 percent less power. In addition, the drag was managed to be reduced by
30 percent so when the train moves through a tunnel loud rumble is no longer heard.
Task 1.
The Japanese high-speed Shinkansen train 400 series travels at speeds of 240 km /
h and uses 7100 kWh of electricity.
Calculate speed with which its successor - the Shinkansen 500 series travels, and
how much power it uses within 1 hour. What is the difference between 400 and 500
series as far as electric power consumption is concerned? How many zlotys would it
be? Assume that 1 kWh costs 0.55 zlotys.

SHARK - SPORTSMAN - SHIP - AEROPLANE - POWER PLANT

To swim like a shark
In beating swimming records, the technique of swimming itself is not only important,
but an appropriate swimming costume is essential as well. The Speedo company
worked on the mentioned assumption and observed a shark to help them with their
project. It turns out that the skin of this aquatic predator is covered up to ten scales per
one millimeter which influences the pace of the animal's movement - the scales form
micro-whirls. They created the Fastskin Swimsuit. The same phenomenon is also used
in the production of ships or aircrafts.

http://www.tvp.info/1854973/informacje/nauka/statek-w-skorze-rekina/; Politechnika Wrocawska Rozwizania
techniczne naladujce natur

The experts claim that wearing the Speedo swimsuit can enhance swimmer's lap time
by 1,9 to 2,2 %.
If every single aeroplane in the world is painted with a shark paint during each year
once, it would help to save a total of 4.48 million tons of fuel - as German scientists
figured out. Mounting mentioned layer on the hull of the Airbus planes would reduce
aviation fuel consumption by 1% .
During testing of the mentioned paint on the ship's hull, a layer of above mentioned
paint has reduced friction by more than 5%. In the case of a large container ship this
translates into potential savings in the form of two thousand tons of fuel per year.
The paint can also be used in the wind farms. It is also important to reduce drag on the
blades of wind turbines. The "shark" paint would improve the performance of the entire
wind farms by 20% and increase the general amount of generated energy.

Task 2.
Calculate with the use of spreadsheet how much money could be saved per year if all
the planes in the world are covered with the "shark" paint.
Assume that the price of the aviation fuel is 5,70 PLN + 23%VAT.
http://epbk.pl/oferta/lotnisko/sprzedaz_paliwa.html
Task 3.
Calculate with the use of spreadsheet how much money could one large container ship
save when it is painted with the "shark" paint.
Assume that the price of the fuel is 5,70 PLN + 23%VAT.
http://epbk.pl/oferta/lotnisko/sprzedaz_paliwa.html
Task 4.
A small wind farm generates 100 W to 50 kW of energy. It operates approx. 15002000 hours per year. How much energy on average will it produce during a year?
How much money would it be? Design a spreadsheet. How much energy would the
wind farm produce if it uses structures painted with the "shark" paint? How much
money would it save? Assume that 1 kWh costs 0,55 zlotys.

Task 5.
Three large container ships are moored in the port of Gdynia. Calculate with the use
of spreadsheet how much money could be saved per year if they are painted with the
"shark" paint. Design a spreadsheet.
Assume that the price of the fuel is 5,70 PLN + 23%VAT.
