July 31, 2015, 15:24 London, July 31 (PL) The butterflies could be the key to unlock new techniques cheaper and more efficient solar power generation according to new research from Britain’s University of Exeter released today.
The scientists examined new methods of obtaining photovoltaics, or ways to convert light into energy.
Specifically, they showed that by mimicking the pose in the form of V adopted by the white cabbage butterflies to warm their flight muscles before takeoff, the amount of energy produced by solar panels can increase by almost 50 percent.
The study published in Scientific Reports shows that mainly to replicate that structure ‘wing’, the power-to-weight of the overall structure of the plate ratio is increased 17 times, so it is much more efficient
The lead author, Tapas Mallick said the Biomimicry engineering is not new.; However, this research is truly multidisciplinary and shows different ways to develop low-cost solar energy in a way that has not been done before.
The white cabbage butterflies start flying out because before other species in the days in which it is limited how quickly that insects can use the sun’s energy to warm their flight muscles.
That ability is due to the position in the form of V that takes on such days to maximize the concentration of solar energy in your chest, allowing him flying
