ABSTRACT : Nano technology is the word making a huge resolution in our science Industry. It is a fascinating science for many scientists as if offers them many challengers, one such challenges, and one such challenge is creating nanoleaves using the solar Botanic technology. By using this nanoleaves

prospects. Are we Witnessing a true revolution in renewable sources?!!! This is an article on renewable energy and in particular the innovative technology of artificial trees and leaves known as Biomimicry. We begin with an overview of nanoleaves and Biomimicry. We begin with an overview of nanoleaves and Biomimicry concept. The design of the nanoleaves is based on the principles of photosynthesis, a natural process where plants extract the light from solar energy, and along with CO2 from the atmosphere, convert it to starches and oxygen, the oxygen being emitted to the atmosphere. Nanoleaves development has gone a step further, in that they are capable of harvesting the thermal and light energy from the suns energy and convert it to electricity. The stems of the nanoleaves are designed to collect kinetic energy from the wind, which they also convert to electrical energy.

creation, they try to solve our biggest problem in this year.Yes! We will witness a world where there will be scarcity for energy resources, but mankind is blessed that we are provided with the solar and air which will last for millions of years. And recently with the emerging nanotechnology scientists are working on the new content called the nanoleaves that will help to producing electricity with the help of solar power which can serve the future

demands.As the near future it is expected to face a huge energy crisis. In this paper we intend to light on how exactly the

nanoleaves can be achieved and what are the future aspect and

emerging form of renewable energy through collecting energy from the sun and wind and converting it to electrical energy. The leaves are distributed throughout artificial trees and plants, and when operating at optimum efficiency can supply a whole household with electricity. Solar nano technology is used to collect THERMAL, LIGHT, and WIND energy, the leaves and stems incorporate minuscule cells, as explained below;

ELECTRIC CELLS into the tree leaves. That leaves is act as artificial leave in the tree. The

convert the sunlight thermal energy into electrical energy in that artificial leaves. Nano

cells also convert the

invisible light, known as infrared light or radiation, we can't see it, but we can feel it - it's warm - that's why we call it radiation. Due to the unique combination of

photovoltaic in our Nanoleaves it converts this thermal radiation into electricity.

temperature difference between T1 and T2. That emf is produced electrical energy and that energy is stored in the inverter VOLATIC CELLS IN NANO LEAVE TECHNOLOGY. When the sunlight strikes the photo voltaic cells the thin p-doped upper layer absorbed the electrons in the nlayer which causes formation of conduction electrons and holes. These conduction electrons and holes are separated by depletion region potential of the P-N junction.

like a natural leaf, when outside forces, like the wind pushes the Nanoleaf back and forth, mechanical stresses appear in the petiole, twig and branches. The more wind there is, the more Nanoleaves are moved. Wind that is moving thousands of Nanoleaves in a tree canopy are causing mechanical strain in the petiole, twigs and branches. Nano piezo-electric elements incorporated in the petiole twigs and branches are the tiny Nano piezo-electric elements that will generate millions and millions of Pico watts electricity. WORKINGOF THERMO VOLATIC IN NANOLEAVE TECHNOLOGY Out of two junctions T1 and T2, T2 is kept at constant reference

temperature. Hence it is referred as cold junction. The temperature changes to be measured are subjected to the

junction T1, which is referred as hot junction. When T1>T2, an EMF is generated due to the generator gradient. The magnitude of emf depends on the materials used for wires and

Causes the photo current to the inverter in the tree trunk. PIEZO ELECTRIC EFFECT

When two opposite faces of a thin, slice of certain crystals are subjected to a mechanical force, then opposite chargers are developed on the two faces of the slice. When a load is connected across the cell; the depletion region potential causes the photo current to the inverter in the tree trunk. WORKING OF PIEZO-ELECTRIC CELLS IN NANO LEAVE TECHNOLOGY In this technology a crystal is placed in between two metal electrodes When the wind force gives the stress to the up and down side of this nano leave, the

fragile beautiful landscape from renewable resources we have to think twice, because it deserves our protection. Every desert highway mile can generate as much as 1.2MW of clean electricity per year, or power over 200 homes. Protects the environment from otherwise releasing 800 tons of CO2. SAVE OUR TREES; SAVE OUR ELECTRICITY; SAVE OUR FUTURE REFERENCES: DISADVANTAGES: It is very difficult to interface the nanocells into the trees leaves. Cost of this technology is very high. Very difficult to interface the inverter to the tree trunk. 2007 Dailytech-ConferenceExamines Man And Machine Merging,How Tech Will Make Human Brain Obsolete By this nanoleaves we definitely try solve our future upcoming problems due to the sacaratiry.
