Simplified TRIZ: New Problem Solving Applications for Engineers and Manufacturing Professionals

Nested doll. Place one object inside another; place each object, in turn, inside the other. Make one part pass through a cavity in the other. The name of this principle comes from the Russian folk art dolls or matrushkas, in which a series of wooden dolls are nested one inside the other (see Figure 10.8).
Examples:
The double hull in oil tankers
Telescoping structures (umbrella handles, radio antennas, pointers)
Business analogies: a special exhibit for one designer inside a boutique store inside a big market
File structures in the Windows computer operating system (e.g., Chapter 10 is a file in the NewTRIZBook file, which is a file in the My Documents file, etc, )
Measuring cups or spoons
Stuffing a turkey with sausage, stuffing the sausage with chestnuts, etc.
Weight compensation. To compensate for the weight of an object or system, merge it with other objects that provide lift. To compensate for the weight of an object, make it interact with the environment (e.g., use aerodynamic, hydrodynamic, buoyancy and other forces). See Figure 10.9.
Examples:
Air tanks in submarine vessels.
Lifting bodies the shape of the fuselage acts like a wing and generates lift. Used in both...
