Energy capture from polymer based synthetic foliage

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Wind powered renewable energy technologies are rejected in urban or natural environments because of their noise and perceived danger to avian wildlife from conventional rotary wind turbines. The synthetic foliage will be used as a device for low energy applications which is expected to be more socially acceptable in urban settings. We anticipate that this will lead to increased adoption of renewable energy by the Australian public. Success of the project will lead to long term benefits for Australia including reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the creation of jobs in the sustainable energy sector.
