13-Year-Old Makes Solar Power Breakthrough by Harnessing the Fibonacci Sequence





//

While most 13-year-olds spend their free time playing video games or cruising Facebook, one 7th grader was trekking through the woods uncovering a mystery of science. After studying how trees branch in a very specific way, Aidan Dwyer created a solar cell tree that produces 20-50% more power than a uniform array of photovoltaic panels. His impressive results show that using a specific formula for distributing solar cells can drastically improve energy generation. The study earned Aidan a provisional U.S patent – it’s a rare find in the field of technology and a fantastic example of how biomimicry can drastically improve design.

The trees have it all figured out.

They've already started their annihilation of all humans. (Slowly.)





Anyway, interesting. Even if the result isn't entirely right a bonus in productivity is always a good thing.
