Engineering360: "Bio-inspired coatings reduce ship drag and CO2 emissions"

And bio-fouling will create difficult challenges to using this technology outside of the laboratory. The ocean is a harsh mistress as many dreams and good ideas have gone upon the shoals.

Have these treatments been tested in any kind of turbulence? It's unlikely that the air pressure needed for biomimetic hydrophobicity will exist in marine environments, particularly at speed. I would like to see some actual data related to field tests.

Superb work Done by Team towards Green world.

5 to 20 % savings on fuel is great resource saving.

Bio - Technology is only hope towards sustainable Green revolution.
