Trees power batteries
Plenty Magazine (April/May) reports MagCap Engineering, which also manufacturers magnetic components for defense companies, has found a way to charge small batteries and power LED lights by connecting them to trees.
Magcap president, Chris Lagadinos, says output will hopefully increase to 12 volts, enough to charge a hybrid car or off-the-grid street lamp.
This new technology will compete with solar, as this new technology will charge day and night.
A 2 years a study has been researching the impact on tree growth. To date, horticulturists have found no evidence of adverse effects. Long term consequences remain to be seen.
Just another reason, everGREEN landscape architects (www.everGREEN-sb.com) is committed to the preservation of trees.
