Organizers:  International Society of Bionic Engineering (ISBE)

                    German Institute for Textile and Fibre Research Denkendorf (ITV Denkendorf)

Topics: The lectures and attendees in the workshop will present and discuss new knowledge in biological science and bionic transfer regarding energy.

  • One focus lies on energy harvesting, based on solar radiation and energy storage.
  • Another focus will be on saving energy in friction and by adapting the shape of a body in moving systems. Highly astonishing surface structures and interactions of insects, animals and plants show fantastic low friction coefficients, low abrasion and low drag from bodies to soil, to water and to air. We are only at the beginning of understanding these first class performances in order to adapt it to marine technology, piping, aircraft, mobility, ….
  • Other energetical optimized processes are liquid transport mechanisms in analogy to the capillary effect and cohesion theory of trees and leaves.
  • Heat deviation in order to not over heat plays a crucial role in most living organisms and also in industrial processes. Living organisms show properties, which can highly adapt to harsh environment,such as keeping the temperature in a comfortable range. Examples are adaptive thermal insulation in arctic regions, light and heat management in very hot and sun intensive desert regions. This gives us the necessary knowledge we need in construction.
  • The workshop also deals with energy conversion, energy transport and heat recovery processes according to the role model of nature. For example little knowledge is available in details for transforming chemical energy into mechanical energy with high efficiency at low temperature.
  • In terms of energy, further elements are welcome in order to create a link between biology, knowledge and technology transfer.
