There are 2 problems that I came across when researching. The first was a problem I was encountering involved walking through creeks and encountering slippery rocks. No amount of grip or suction on a shoe sustains the surface of a slimy slippery rock causing me to fall and possibly injure myself. 2. Suction cup soap holders/suction cup razor holders are not the best materials to be used on tile showers or tubs.

Scientific Name- Gobiesox maeandricus
Size- Up to 6.5 inches
Range- Alaska to Baja California
Diet- Worms, small crabs, other crustaceans
Suction- Designed to keep them from being pulled away by the tides and waves
A clingfish can cling so tightly that the rock it's stuck on may be pulled away by strong currents with the fish still attached.

Adaptations:
1. Small body structure allows these fish to get into tight spaces including living under rocks
2. They get their suction aspect from both the pectoral and pelvic fins
3. Pectoral and pelvic fins will hold moisture
4.Pectoral and pelvic fins are fused together

Because of the powerful suction grip these animals are able to withhold suction to material many times their own weight. And they are able to do so in a marine environment. Designing a Clingfish inspired shoe, the wearer of the shoe would be able to grip themselves onto slippery and slimy rocks without falling.

The way that their fins are able to hold moisture would be a technology that could be used in designing bandaids. When bandaids get wet, even the "water proof" ones they will almost immediately fall off. Finding a way to incorporate the way the Clingfish is able to create a friction with the small hairs that prevent the water from disturbing the suction on the fish to a surface would help to design a truly waterproof bandaid.

How many times have you tried to attach a shower caddy/soap holder/razor holder to a tile shower just to find it back in the shower floor every single time. Because of the Clingfishes ability to suction to both marine and uneven surfaces creating a suction cup that resembles the fins of the Clingfish would solve the failed manmade suction cups problem.

For marine biologists that struggle with being able to lift heavy, slippery, slime covered rocks to get to a inhabitant that lives under they can use gloves made with this suction technology to help. Having gloves that have the suction power to attach to rigid surfaces would allow them to be able to move the heavy and slippery rocks with more ease.

The solution I chose to test was solution number 1. This is an ongoing problem that I encounter in my own life so I wanted to see if I could come up with the solution.

This is the original prototype

This was after I tweaked prototype 1

This is the final prototype that the model will be formed after
