ANALYZING THE RESULTS OF RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCE OF SOLAR BOTONIC TREES USING NANO PIEZO ELECTRIC ELEMENTS

Abstract

The world is reeling under the severe shortage of reliable and efficient energy resources. The profitable energy resources used to generate electricity so far, ‘fossil fuels [1-3]’ are extinguished and also effecting the environment, thus the greenhouse effect and the global warming phenomenon that we keep hearing about are the repercussions. Thus, there is an immediate call to switch over to a better, eco-friendly, affluent energy resource i.e., ‘the Renewable Sources[4-5] ’. It eliminates the problems faced by a traditional solar panel fields, i.e., non-availability of solar energy during cloudy or rainy days and during nightfall. In case of Solar Botanic Trees, The more the wind is, the more Nano-leaves are moved. Wind that is moving thousands of Nano leaves in a tree canopy are causing mechanical strain in the petiole, twigs and branches. Nano piezo-electric elements incorporated in the petiole twigs and branches are the tiny Nano piezo-electric elements that will generate millions and millions of Pico watts as these thousands of Nano leaves flap back and forth due to wind. The stronger the wind, the higher the "flap" frequency, and therefore the larger the watts generated in the petiole, twigs and branches. Similar is the case of energy during rainfall, the mechanical vibrations in these tiny generators produce electricity from movement or kinetic energy caused by wind or falling raindrops.
