Oysters. Soiled, mud-covered oysters.
We’ve at all times been fascinated by how people uncover so many technological developments from nature. I stumbled throughout a video of oysters filtering water.
In simply 5 hours, a few oysters flip a totally filthy tank into one thing clear! In truth, they will filter as much as 50 gallons of water a day. We had a dialogue over lunch about if they may alter recent water mussels to filter out micro organism, we may simply ship them worldwide and have a residing filtration system. (You’ll be able to’t, by the best way. Please don’t do that and anticipate to not get sick!)
Whereas fleshing out particulars for Atrio: The Darkish Wild, we knew we wished an meeting line, however we thought, “what if as a substitute of constructing every part out of metallic, we included residing issues?” You possibly can seize residing creatures, and have them do duties machines can’t do – digest and produce different compounds the identical approach we will’t print spider-silk. Pushbacks will cut up traces for you, tornatoads will pluck vegetation in your behalf, mini-deer will course of and poop out new supplies, and bees will replant mushrooms.
With that, our tag line was born “Seize creatures, and add them to your meeting line”.
