Electronic Plants Store Energy at the Magnitude of Supercapacitors

Here is the original paper,

Truly fascinating!

I will have to keep an eye out for this!

That is what King Harold said when he was inspecting his archers. October 14th, 1066.

I thought he told them they would put their eyes out, and to wait until Christmas!

Thanks for the link!

This is maybe a smart, even clever idea, however, impractical as wires are still required to each rose unless they have come up with a way to transmit the voltage over bluetooth.

The sensible way to provide this lust for power if to further develop solar and wind technology for households, (reduce costs and make it more affordable) and to reduce the silly by laws to allow more folks to install solar, coupled with a small wind generator on roof tops. High rise buildings would be perfect as they will collect wind and drafts created by buildings. All high rise create updrafts that can be captured.

I think the grants and investment money could be far better spent on more practical uses that everyone may benefit from. Rose power---clever but novel only.
