I've heard of biomimetics, but it is quite hard to recommend a particular site without knowing what you have in mind, or what type of inventions are you trying to develop.\nMany new materials and structures have been fabricated from observation and imitation of natural shapes and tissues. \nHere's a site with photographs from electron microscope observation.\nhttp://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/museum/profiles/hickman/hickmantechniques.html\n\nI think you should do a search for images obtained with SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), because these show surfaces and external details.\n\nPS If you ever invent some type of gloves or shoes that allow climbing onto vertical surfaces, like a gecko's toes, I'm interested!\nhttp://www.tc.umn.edu/~gambl007/geckos/gekko_gecko_to.jpg

Well, you could use a turtle shell to boil the water. Cover the top with leaves and mud to seal it, leaving a hole for a bamboo vent to collect the steam. Using bamboo as tubing, that would also help the condensation, create long enough tubes to have the water condensate and then fall into another turtle shell or coconut shells.

An exotic (and easy to care) plant, like a succulent.\n\nI bet you it's going to be an original gift.  It is also something not compromising, and not even too expensive.\n\nHowever, the trick is in the vase.
