The website Watts Up With That? shows us something novel and cool where science is concerned. In particular, it involves a solar panel array and how best to arrange it.
A 7th grader designed a 5V solar array based on the arrangement of leaves on an oak tree. It outperformed a typical flat array in overall output as well as the length of time the panel generated electricity. The results and original link are all in the above link.
Who’d of thought that something that depends on sunlight for it’s existence would be well designed for the situation?
