技术史上有许多这样的事例:在具体实现某个天才思想的几个可能的方向之中,一个方向上的进展在许多年间掩盖了其它各方向的工程应用。充气结构遇到的正是这种蹇运。在车轮革新初期就已经出现,并在使之具有现代外形的过程中发挥主要作用的充气橡胶轮胎,曾经成了把橡胶和压缩空气的性质结合起来进行大规模工业应用的唯一对象。然而,充气结构的思想却早在轮胎出现之前就产生了,这种想法来自大自然对人的启示,自然界
There are many instances in the history of technology. Among the few possible directions that concretely implement a genius idea, progress in one direction has masked engineering applications in all other directions for many years. Inflatable structure is encountered this luck. Inflatable rubber tires, which have emerged early in the wheel revolution and have played a major role in making them modern in appearance, have been the only objects that combine the properties of rubber with compressed air for large-scale industrial applications. However, the idea of inflatable structure was born long before the advent of the tire. The idea came from nature’s revelation to people. Nature
