Nā niho puna ʻano S no nā mīkini mahiʻai
ʻO nā niho puna ʻano S he mau ʻāpana hana elastic i hoʻohana nui ʻia i nā mīkini mahiʻai, i kapa ʻia no ko lākou hoʻolālā kū hoʻokahi "S". Hana ʻia lākou me ke kila puna kiʻekiʻe, nona ka elasticity maikaʻi loa, ka paʻakikī, a me ke kūpaʻa ʻana i ka ʻaʻahu. ʻO ka waiwai nui o nā niho puna ʻano S aia i ko lākou hiki ke hoʻomaʻemaʻe a wehe pono i nā mea me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ko lākou deformation elastic, me ka pale ʻana i ka hōʻino paʻa i nā mea mahiʻai a me nā ʻili paʻakikī. ʻO lākou kekahi o nā ʻāpana kōkua kūpono a hilinaʻi hoʻi i nā hana mahiʻai hou.
ʻO ka elasticity a me ka paʻakikī kūikawā: Hana ʻia me ke kila puna ikaika kiʻekiʻe a mālama ʻia me kahi kaʻina hana wela kūikawā, hiki ke hoʻi koke i kona ʻano mua ma hope o ke kūlou nui ʻana, he ola lōʻihi ka luhi, a ʻaʻole maʻalahi e uhaʻi.
ʻO ke kūpaʻa maikaʻi loa i ka ʻaʻahu: Hoʻopaʻakikī pinepine ʻia nā wēlau o nā niho puna a hoʻopaʻa ʻia paha me nā poʻo metala pale ʻaʻahu, kahi e hoʻomaikaʻi nui ai i ko lākou kūpaʻa ʻana i ka ʻaʻahu a hoʻolōʻihi i ko lākou ola lawelawe i ke one a paʻakikī paha.
Me kona hoʻolālā akamai a me ka hana hilinaʻi, ua lilo ka niho puna ʻano-S i "tentacle flexible" pono ʻole i nā mīkini mahiʻai hou. ʻAʻole ia e hōʻoiaʻiʻo wale i ka hana pono akā lawelawe pū kekahi ma ke ʻano he koho naʻauao no ka pale ʻana i nā mīkini mahiʻai a me ka hoʻēmi ʻana i nā kumukūʻai hana.
