3. van der beek,founder of solar botanic lmtd during his
train ride to Netherlands he got the idea of generating
electricity from something that blends in a fake tree.
He places thousands of photovoltaics,piezoelectrics
and thermoelectrics on nano leaves which appears
like a plastic tree.

4. It is a naturally
occuring,
inexhaustable resource
which are replenished
on a human time scale
such as sun light,
wind,tides etc.

5. What is a nano tree?
It is an artificial tree which makes use of renewable
energy from sun,wind and which have a means of
collecting solar and wind energy .
It utilises three different energy
generation technologies such as
photovoltaic,thermoelectric and piezoelectric.

6. This is emerging form of renewable energy generated
by collecting solar and wind energy and converting in
to electrical energy.
Leaves are distributed through out artificial trees and
plants and can supply entire household with
maximum efficiency.

7. Biomimicry
 Generally artificial trees cannot carry out photosynthesis
naturally.
 Biomimicry is a developing science attempting to solve
human difficulties by adapting and implementing
nature's systems to human technology.
 This is possible by the use of nature design with synthetic
trees, shrubs ,plants and flowers with PV cells.
 Biomimicry and Nanoleaf technology are intrinsic to each
other.
 This is clean and renewable.

8.  It is made up of thermoelectrics, photovoltaics and
piezoelectrics on nanoleaves which make it resemble like
plastic tree.
 It has canopy 20 ft in diameter and 1200 sqft in area.
 It contains highly efficient thin film solar cells made of
CIGS.
 The trunk is primarily made of recycled materials and
also contain liquified waste biomass and wood processed
via steam combustion.
 The shape of the leaf is so as to capture the power of sun,
for efficient operation they are dark shade of green.

9. The petiole is
incorporated with
piezoelectric ribbons so as
to react to forces and
tension .
It is very versatile and easy
to install a twig and is
weather secured.

11. THERMOVOLTAIC ENERGY CONVERSION:
Nanoleaves absorb most of the light and reflects a
small part.
THERMAL ENERGY:
This is captured through the use of thermovoltaic
cells which convert thermal energy into electricity
by using semi conducting materials.

12. PHOTOVOLTAIC
ENERGY
CONVERSION:
LIGHT ENERGY:
Photovoltaic cells are
incorporated in the
nanoleaves.
These capture light
rays emitted by the
sun and is then
converted into
electricity.

14. KINETIC ENERGY:
It is harnessed through movement.
The movement of wind causes motion in
leaves,stems.This motion is collected by piezo voltaic
cells.
The piezo voltaic cells and the semi conducting
devices convert wind energy into electricity.
Stronger the wind, more the energy is produced.

17. Office Parking
Recreational parks, city parks
Electric vehicles
Charging
Highways
Houses
Deserts

18. Easy to install
Weather resistant
Low investment/High return
Various sizes
No emission of green house gases
Triple efficiency

19. ESTIMATED BUDGET AND OUTCOME
Possible output - 2000 -12,000KWH
Cost of tree - $12,000- $20,000
Life span - About 1,20,000 kwh
over 20 years life span
 One leaf can produce 1.25V ,100mA and power of
0.125W.

20. Nano trees Normal
electricity
The typical US family
of four would need four
trees at about $64000
for 20 years.
The same family pays
more than $100000 for
20 years.

21. CONCLUSION
These super eco friendly synthetic trees will make use
of renewable energy from sun , wind which are clean
and has wide potential.
