Fibonacci Numbers Solar Panels

Aidan replicated the fibonacci sequence in trees to invent a new way of harnessing solar energy.

Fibonacci numbers solar panels.

Fibonacci pattern of solar cells. This led him to propose arranging solar panels like oak trees leaves a manner which would be 20 to 50 percent more efficient energy wise. The future of our planet lies in the hands of our children and when a 13 year old boy aidan dwyer uncovers the mystery of how trees get enough of sunlight in a crowded forest and applies it to solar energy you know that all is not lost. Aidan dwyer 13 went to the woods and had a eureka moment that could be a major breakthrough in solar panel design.

This instructable is a part of a bigger experiment that was performed to comapare the qulitatiive and quantitative performance of an fibonacci arrangement of solar cells to a conventional planar arrangement i ll be explaining how to arrange solar. The american museum of natural history rewarded him with a young naturalist award. Looking at the fibonacci series which describes spirals he also noticed that tree leaves adhered to the spiral sequence. On a bleak winter hiking.
