Spider and remote sensing
30 Animals That Made Us Smarter
When a fly hits a spiderβs web the web sends vibrations to the spider crouched at its edge. This is known as remote sensing. The webs may help us design sensors to detect vibrations in the earth and the built environment. These vibrations could be turned into electricity. This could lead to small scale energy harvesting.
