BIOMIMICRY // The Snow Shoe
Case: Using biomimicry, create a product made for traveling outdoors.
The inspiration for the case. A cabin trip only days before. Incredible amounts of snow made the trip out fairly difficult. We only had a pair of old snow shoes and found some weaknesses. Could biomimicry help create a snow shoe that would outperform even the most modern versions available today?
The lotus leas is most famous for its effect of being able to be hydrophobic and at the same time, not have a slippery surface.
with varying degrees of functionality exept for the earthworm, several animals can stretch and blow up areas on their bodies. to shift its form. Most commonly seen in mating rituals, this is a cool way to show that you could have scales for instance, but still stretch out the skin in between.
Concept of having a shoe sole inspired by the paw of a Lynx. expanding the toes as they touch down on the snow and having a layer of skin between the toes to have a larger surface area for better weight distribution.
Concept of having a stingray shaped surface that moves much like the stingray swims. this to add support to the point the shoe is most pressing against the snow.
grippy panels with different density elastomers in between to simulate the stretching motion of the common earthworm.
Army foot-bags is the inspiration for the way it keeps feet warm and dry while having room for shoes inside.
Final concept: The snow shoe that inflates and distributes its surface in the optimal way to dispurse the weight of your body. it works by having a inflatable device inside a 3d knitted elastomer with different strenghts to guide the “balloon” inside.
