The Nature Technology - Magic Of Motion ( BBC Full Documentary ) HD

Broadcast (2006) Magic of Motion : Most animals, and even a few plants, move. They swim, walk, run or fly in a wide range of ways, and in this programme we look at how designers of planes, cars and robots have found inspiration in nature. But biomimetics is not just about copying nature, it's about understanding the principles behind nature's success and applying those in new and surprising ways. So exploring the world of cars and planes also gives us some startling new insights into nature as well. In this programme we find out why sharks can swim so fast, how flies and geckos can climb smooth glass and how vultures can help the next generation of airliners. We also meet robot cockroaches that might look like something from science fiction, but might be the fore-runners of the latest all terrain vehicles.

NatureTech, a multi-award-winning series, explores "biomimetics" - the science of looking to nature for answers to modern problems. Why are blossoms never dirty and can we also make our cars that way? Why can geckos walk on the ceiling and can we use their tricks to create better adhesives? Why is the spider's web tougher than steel? Exciting new developments in computer technology, chemistry and physics are now enabling us to understand Nature's designs better than ever before. Scientists are not simply trying to copy nature -- they are taking hints, extracting principles and applying winning designs of evolution in a new, human context.

Visually, this series is an attractive, fast-paced mix of stunning natural history shots, computer-assisted design and CGI graphics of futuristic inventions, ultra-modern, spacy architecture and high tech as well as scenes of the world's leading designers and engineers at work, all created by the team that made "Limits of Perception".

this proves that nature has been designed, there is design in nature this means that there must be a Designer. Search for the truth why are we here, who brought us to this world. Conclusion there is A Mighty Being who have designed and created us, this Being is fare greater than we know, cares for us. We must know who created us and why? before we die otherwise we fail our purpose in life. "He is God; there is no god but He, He is the Knower of the unseen and the visible. Allah is God

The biggest thing nature can get into the air is a swan?? I reckon a pterasaur Quetzalcoatlus at 260kgs and 12meters wingspan beats that.

Awesome! Watched the whole thing. I wish we saw more of this type of thing on regular TV versus what usually passes for entertainment.

@bohongtw No, it must have been some super being that also allows people to get AIDs, die of hunger, make men mortal, make men think they are faultu so they feel bad their whole life and apologise profusely thinking they are talking to god and allows people to use single letters as sounds which are also words in english and for sequences of letters that resemble vowels and because of a lack of proper typing the author makes themself out to be a fool.

u r telling us how unique, how scientifically super the wings are, and you call it bcus of "mindless evolution" !?. come on....!
