California moves to the tick at a rate equivalent to 2090 km / h Bashny.Net

Fastest suschestvo



Previously it was thought that the cheetah speed will not be able to beat anybody, but the researchers found that a tiny mite California is actually much faster - at least for its size. Paratarsotomus macropalpis no more sesame seeds, but moved to 322 own body length per second.

Previous record holder, Australian Doodlebug, runs at a speed of "only" 171 body lengths per second, and a cheetah that can accelerate to 95 kilometers / hour, a total of 16 runs over his own body lengths per second.



If we convert to human dimensions, the speed equivalent to the tick 2090 km / h. Can you imagine that a man or a transport moving so fast? So far, it is impossible for us.

The discovery was made at the California College student Samuel Rubin. He believes the discovery of surprising not only because it is a new world record, but also because it says a lot about the limitations of living beings and the physiology of movement. And on a broader scale, these speeds can inspire people to create new revolutionary projects, for example, in robotics or biomimetic devices.

The rate and amount of body lengths per second, proportional to the size of animals - usually the smaller the animal, the faster it is moving (on average, of course). In theory, it must sooner or later come a limit - muscle physiology imposes its limitations. Perhaps there are animals and tick faster California, but they have not yet found.
