It had some strings and pulleys and some springs.

So we thought, OK, this must be a spring the saddle could very well be a spring.

I must take my oboe for repair.

It has six legs there are the tuned, springy legs.

And they can be modeled by a spring mass system that we call the spring mass system because we're biomechanists. It's actually a pogo stick.

So, the saddles that saddle shaped spring has actually been well known to biologists for a long time, not as a spring but as a visual signal.

Now, what good are springy legs then? What can they do?

And if I take a reed if I rub this, something very amazing happens.

Finally, I have a thing for the keys on a flute or a clarinet.

It's what makes a little girl play the clarinet at home, while her mother does the housework.

It's a CD basically. It's a compact disc.

And all of these are the same principles that apply to the saddle shaped spring in stomatopods.

Ten small bowls of pasta, with a different spaghetti sauce on each one.

We want to fold up the legs and shoot it up for long range motion.

This is the mater, the scales on the back.

There needs to be some kind of spring loaded mechanism in order to generate the amount of force that we observe, and the speed that we observe, and the output of the system.

These are refrigerators that require no electricity they're pot within a pot design.

This is a floppy disk five and a quarter inch floppy disk infected by Brain.A.

We had wooden flutists, we had oboists, we had opera singers, we had guitar players, and we had rap singers.

So again, the oboe player is completely autonomous and therefore happy and proud of his work, and creative and all of that.

And then we did a series of calculations, and what we were able to show is that these mantis shrimp have to have a spring.

So sort of an interesting strange fact to find a visual structure right in the middle of their spring.

I'm not liking these dishes.

And again, that brings us back to the importance of that spring in storing up and releasing so much energy in this system.

And this one, this is a replica from a 15th century device.

Rule 110.20

Now, I don't play the flute or the clarinet, so I decided to combine these keys with an instrument I do play the television remote control.

Same principle it only has six moving parts, six motors, but it has springy, tuned legs. It moves in the gait of the insect.
