This article outlines 5 unique and interesting technologies that have been developed by studying different aspects of nature, like how plants make energy. My favorite technology that is outlined in this piece is the LEAF, which uses dew-drop formation, like in the leaf of a plant to collect, and store water for household environments. I also thought that the jellyfish inspired air purifier was quite interesting because it uses the body structure of a jellyfish to balance the weight evenly so it can stand upright on its own. This technology uses a liquid inside the "jellyfish" to purify the air. The other technologies are also interesting, making use of solar panels and other durable materials to be able to function in our environment without actually damaging it.

My favorite technology was also the LEAF. Since reading articles about the water conservation problems, this could be a possible solution since the water is being taken from the atmosphere. The cab sounded like an unfinished plan as it was noted that it was not comfortable and that only nature enthusiasts will enjoy it. The organic air purifier is interesting because it could potentially wreck the febreze company profits since it emits heat and fragrance into homes. A potential drawback could be that kids might be able to easily break it.
