User ID: 49617216 United States 11/23/2013 02:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 13-Year-Old Replicates Fibonacci Sequence in Trees to Produce Solar Power It was the artist Vincent Van Gogh that wisely spoke the words, “It is a pity that, as one gradually gains experience, one loses one’s youth”. As the mind of a young individual molds to see the world in a new way, something changes; the child-ness that belongs in every human spirit tends to become lost, replaced by limited thinking. However, that is all changing, especially as generations older reflect on the importance of assisting brilliant, young minds to create the ‘impossible’ only the uninhibited could dream up. An example is shared in Aidan Dywer, a 13-year-old that uncovered the mystery of how trees get enough sunlight in a crowded forest. While walking through the forest of Long Island, New York, Aidan pondered how all the leaves get enough sunlight. His conclusion was that trees spiral up using the Fibonacci sequence.

I have both solar and wind power. When there is sun and no wind my batteries charge, when there is wind and no sun my batteries charge, when there is both wind and sun my batteries charge.
This is an interesting concept in any event. |

Since nature doesn't do that, presumably, nature can't do that. |

The leaves and branches on a tree also act as a rain catchment guiding water and nutrients from the dust they collect down to their roots. |

Stupid 2 years ago and stupid now. It is not an efficient design at all because the panels aren't aligned optimally. Of course, the real stupidity of the design is that it is much more complex than a normal solar panel, which makes it both more expensive to manufacture and more fragile. But hey, some retarded kid built it and he made it sort of look like a small tree - people go ga-ga over that shit. |
