Image description

Japanese bullet train. Bullet trains in Japan used to make a loud boom sound when they traveled through tunnels. A bird-watching engineer was able to fix the problem after he was inspired by a kingfisher. Essentially, the shape of the kingfisher's beak and head allowed it to fly at high speeds with minimal collision and noise. When translated to a train, engineers realized it could break the air bubble that was created in front of the Shinkansen to minimize noise.
