The goal of the installation to be done is to do a surface of bio-photovoltaic panels that may be applied to any surface and produce both electricity and food (mainly herbs). In previous prototypes the surfaces were tessellated by using a Voronoi tessellation. This would allow us to efficiently irrigate the plants by keeping the [...]

Biophotovoltiacs; Harvesting energy from soil
Biophotovoltaics consist of harvesting energy from bacteria inside the soil. as bacteria naturally digest nutrients found inside the soil they release electrons which, by placing an anode and a cathode inside the soil, can be harvested. moss is planted in the soil to keep the bacteria alive since, as a by-product of photosynthesis, they release [...]
