Researchers speak in unison that if we develop the capability to harvest 40 minutes of sunlight falling on the entire earth, we can provide energy to the whole population of this planet for about a year. But we are successful in trapping just 1% of that energy till now. Scientists and industrial designers are [...]Posted in: Future Energy, Inventions, Solar Power
Energy Harvesting ‘Piezo-tree’ Concept
06/01/2010 08:01
Researchers at the Cornell University have taken inspiration from nature and tried to imitate the swaying of tree branches. So what is the difference between natural swaying of trees and energy-harvesting tree created by Cornell University researchers? The flapping leaves developed in the laboratory generate energy which can be utilized by us. They are [...]Posted in: Future Energy, Inventions, Wind Power
