Artificial Plants Capture Wind and Solar Energy
Solar Botanic is a London based startup and announced that it has created artificial trees and plants that capture the wind energy, rain and power of the sun. All of these are made by the Nanoleaf, which is the key to the company’s claim.
Nanoleaf is a capturing powerhouse and contains thermovoltaic and photovoltaic cells that capture the sun’s energy, exactly like voltaic branches and twigs that create electricity whenever they are compressed and stretched by the wind.
Until now, no one said how much power an artificial plant or tree can create. The company announced that a tree with 6 sq meter could power a single household.
Now, Solar Botanic use its invention to power parks, motorways and suburban streets. I think that it is a good invention, but i don’t see how the peoples that are using wind turbines or solar panels will tolerate clusters of energy-producing trees in their neighborhoods. I wait your opinion about these artificial trees.
