Biomimicry as Alternative Source of Energy

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Although Batangas steadily grows economically, power source and its consumption cost remain a serious problem in the outskirts. in the study, the researchers intend to demonstrate mimicking photosynthetic process for a more sustainable option of power generation.

METHODS

Experimental research was used. Several set ups were made to try different materials that may be used in mimicking photosynthesis for power generation. The outcome of the experiments was recorded in a journal.

RESULTS

Results show that the ideal set up includes solar panel, water and pencils. This presents a simple photosynthetic model with the solar cell as storage of energy and the breaking down of water molecules into chemical energy. The simple set up enables the light bulb to work. Biomimicry,as in photosynthetic mimicry, can provide an environment friendly option for power generation as production of large quantities of hydrogen presents a more sustainable process of generating electricity.

DISCUSSIONS

Biomimicry is perceived as a way to deal with development as it looks for reasonable answers to human difficulties like power generation. Through mimicking photosynthetic process, a more sustainable alternative source of energy is possible and cost efficient.
