1) Define: The Problem Definition

In the desert, extreme heat poses serious challenges, with temperatures often exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit. This intense heat leads to rapid dehydration, heat exhaustion, sunburn, and heatstroke. The dry conditions further exacerbate respiratory issues and cause dangerous fluctuations in body temperature.

2) Biologize: The Essential Function

Biomimicry Design Spiral

The hat's essential function, biologized from the thorny devil lizard, is to enhance hydration in arid conditions. Its spike-like structures mimic the lizard's scales, which capture and channel moisture from the environment, such as dew or condensation.

3) Discover : Esential Function

The world is getting hotter as time goes by, people are being tested by droughts. Locks in moisture and decreases dehydration.

4) Absract : How it works?

Its spike-like structures mimic the lizard's scales, which capture and channel moisture from the environment, such as dew or condensation. This moisture is directed into a collection system or reservoir, providing a continuous supply of hydration to help prevent dehydration in extreme heat. By replicating the thorny devil’s natural adaptation, the hat effectively supports the wearer's hydration needs in hot and dry environments.
