【摘要】 空气取水是解决淡水匮乏的有效方法之一,但较低取水率限制了其广泛应用。结合英国生物学家Andrew发现的沙漠甲虫Stenocara利用其特殊背部表面从空气中获取饮用水的现象,通过分析现有空气取水技术,指出了制作Stenocara甲虫背部仿生表面以应用在空气取水中,有可能在提高空气取水的取水率方面提供新的思路,这也有望成为今后大型化、人工空气取水的基础。更多还原

【Abstract】 Stenocara beetles in the Namib Desert collect drinking water from the air on their backs. Water extraction from air(WEA)is an effective solution for water shortage, but the low water collection rate is a restriction to its wide application. Based on the analysis of the present WEA technology, the conclusion that the application of the beetle’s bionic surface to WEA may increase the water collection rate is drawn in the paper. This provides new ideas for the WEA technology and might become the basis for the large-scale artificial schemes to gathering water from the air.更多还原
