O tej e-knjigi
Fastest Swimmers delves into the fascinating science behind aquatic locomotion, revealing how marine animals achieve incredible speeds. Exploring the principles of hydrodynamics, propulsion, and aquatic adaptation, the book uncovers the secrets that allow creatures like marlins, dolphins, and penguins to outpace human athletes. For instance, the book highlights how the streamlined body of a marlin and the wing-propelled underwater flight of penguins are evolutionary marvels shaped by ecological pressures. The book explores the unique adaptations of these animals through detailed profiles, examining swimming kinematics, muscle physiology, and habitat characteristics. A key idea presented is convergent evolution, suggesting that peak swimming speeds are not coincidental but a product of similar environmental demands. By understanding these biological strategies, engineers and designers can draw inspiration for more efficient underwater vehicles, exemplifying biomimicry in action. Fastest Swimmers begins with the basic physics of swimming, including drag, thrust and buoyancy, before moving into profiles of specific animals and concluding with interdisciplinary connections to fluid dynamics and engineering. The book maintains a fact-based tone and covers ethical considerations, aiming to inspire innovation in robotics, marine conservation, and beyond while fairly representing ongoing scientific debates.
