👉 Squirting engineering refers to the innovative application of fluid dynamics and material science to create self-cleaning surfaces that mimic the unique properties of animal skin, particularly those of squirrels. Squirrels have specialized glands that produce a viscous fluid which they can squirt at their environment, effectively cleaning themselves and their surroundings. Engineers have replicated this mechanism by developing surfaces with micro- and nano-scale structures that trap and repel water, allowing it to roll off easily, carrying away dirt and contaminants. These surfaces can be applied to various materials, including building exteriors, medical devices, and even textiles, offering a sustainable and low-maintenance solution for hygiene and cleanliness. The technology leverages the principles of surface tension, capillary action, and hydrophobicity to achieve its remarkable self-cleaning capabilities.
