  • A helicopter sprays flowers grown for seed: Lompoc, California. USA. The Lompoc Valley is said to have the most consistent temperate climate in the world, which is a critical factor in the cultivation of flowers.  The valley has been a flower seed-producing region for nearly 100 years. In the early 1980's, Lompoc Valley was producing one-third of the world's flower seeds.  Lompoc is a 12-mile-long, and 3-mile-wide valley, which lies just inland from the coast of California, about 150 miles north of Los Angeles. There are 1600 acres of 600 varieties of flowers from which they harvest approximately 400 tons of seeds each year. Crop dusting of flower fields (spraying pesticides).

  • Long-EZ flying above the Mojave desert in California. The aircraft is of an unusual design, having forward-mounted "canard" wings instead of a tail plane and a rear-mounted "pusher" propeller. The canard makes the plane virtually stall proof. It has a slightly steeper tilt than the regular wing; thus the canard begins to stall before the main wing, and as it does so, it drops the nose and gains speed. The Long-EZ has a range of up to 7700 kilometers, a ceiling of 27,000 feet (8230 meters) and a top speed of 309 kilometers per hour. The aircraft is available in a kit form, manufactured by the Rutan Aircraft Factory, which can be assembled in as few as 1000 hours.

  • Good-naturedly donning fishy swim goggles for the camera, Yuuzi Terada, an engineer at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, stands at company headquarters with a pair of the sleek robot fish he constructs. Gray's Paradox asks the question why fish, with their slim muscles and small fins, can accelerate so quickly. Researchers have long hoped that unraveling Gray's Paradox will allow them to build safer, faster nautical propulsion systems. The dream is shared by Terada and other researchers at Mitsubishi, who have long thought that fish fins might serve as a model for a new kind of propeller that would make underwater vehicles faster, more stable, and more maneuverable. Japan. From the book Robo sapiens: Evolution of a New Species, page 106-107.

  • In the water, pike can accelerate at a rate of eight to twelve g's, as fast as a NASA rocket. To scientists, the speed is inexplicable. In an attempt to understand how the flap of a thin fish tail can push a fish faster than any propeller, John Kumph, then an MIT graduate student, built a robotic version of a chain-pickerel?a species of pike?with a spring-wound fiberglass exoskeleton and a skin made of silicone rubber. Now under further development by iRobot, an MIT-linked company just outside Boston in Somerville, MA, the robo-fish can't yet swim nearly as fast as a real pike, suggesting how much remains to be learned. Photographed at the MIT tow tank, Cambridge, MA. From the book Robo sapiens: Evolution of a New Species, page 108-109.

  • Skycar. M400 Skycar, developed by Paul Moller, founder and CEO of Moller International in Davis, California. According to Moller, it is able to be driven as a normal car, but also has four large turbofans, which provide the thrust to lift it into the air. Once in the air, the fans turn backwards to propel the skycar like an airplane. The Moller team says it will be able to reach speeds of up to 375 miles (600 kilometers) per hour. A computer will actually control the craft, meaning it will require little training. It contains 4160 HP (rotary) freedom engines. MODEL RELEASED.

  • Professor Robert J. Full, in front of a poster of a ghost crab, in his Poly-PEDAL biology lab at UC Berkeley. Full studies animal locomotion on miniaturized treadmills, using hi-speed imaging and force measurements to map out how these creatures actually propel themselves. Cockroaches, crabs, geckos, centipedes have all been studied intently. Full's Poly-PEDAL Lab at UC Berkeley has been working with roboticists for years, supplying them with information on small animal locomotion that is used to construct innovative robots.
