Artificial tree captures solar wind energy

Artificial tree captures solar wind energy

Alternative energy is all the rage because we try to reduce our dependence on foreign oil and reduce our monthly electricity bills. We cannot read by candlelight. At the forefront of this trend are three different technologies: wind turbines, solar panels that capture sunlight, and solar collectors that convert heat from the sun into electricity. A London company combines these three technologies to develop a power plant that you would like to install in your yard: This is an artificial tree.

The company is Solar Botanic, which creates a completely man-made tree that can generate enough electricity to supply a house and reduce households' reliance on the public grid. This "tree" can use wind, light and heat because they are exposed outdoors. The solar plant company website refers to these three technologies as piezovoltaic, photovoltaic and thermovoltaic respectively.

This solar energy can serve everyone. The secret of the solar plant company's artificial tree is on the leaf. The so-called nanoleaves, each leaf function as a tiny wind-utilizing, collecting and collecting device. They are all green, which makes them less efficient in collecting light, slightly lower than traditional solar panels, but it does have better consumer aesthetics.

The description on the website of the Solar Plant Company stated: "The more wind, the more the movement of nano-leaves." Moreover, "the stronger the wind, the higher the frequency of cicadas flapping and, therefore, the greater the wattage produced." In addition, falling raindrops can also generate electricity because it can cause movement of leaves. Although the motion, heat, or light of each single leaf produces only a few picowatts of electricity, hundreds of leaves on a single tree combine to produce considerable power.

According to Solar Plant Company, a broad-leaved artificial tree, like an oak or maple tree, can generate 3,500 kilowatt-hours and 7,000 kilowatt hours per year, while an evergreen evergreen can generate 2,500 kilowatt-hours to 7,000 kilowatts per year. Time.

The company said that the power provided by their program is “more than 50% more than a conventional solar system.” After energy is collected, it is stored on the tree trunk until it can be used by users.

Solar Plants has planned to make shrubs and dwarf trees.

If they are made successfully and prices are within the consumer's range, then these trees have other additional benefits. They look like trees compared to more traditional alternative power systems.

In addition, just like trees, they can shade in the summer, creating celestial and visual barriers and decorating the city's roof. In the future, they can even integrate air filtration systems.
