Photobioenergy: the new generation of solar energy

    Green as eco friendly. Green as "green", as eco-sustainability. And, when the project developed by the United States Department of Energy and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory will have reached a degree of evolution such as to make commercial production feasible, the "green" will also help us to be independent from the point of view of electricity supply. This is "photobioenergetics", a sort of "artificial photosynthesis" that uses sunlight, carbon dioxide and water to generate electricity.

    Green come eco friendly. Green like "green", like eco sustainability. And, when the project developed by the United States Department of Energy and from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory will have reached such a degree of evolution as to make commercial production feasible, the "green" will also help us to be independent from the point of view of procurement of electric energy. It is about “photobioenergetics”, a kind of "photosynthesis artificial "which uses the sunlight, thecarbon dioxide andwater to generate electricity.



    This new technique, called “Watzburg Nanocapsules”, is based on the fact that inside the nanocapsules contained inside a green color paint there are molecules called "Bispyrenes”, In turn capable of change your shape in base all’acidity of the environment in which they are found: in the presence of ultraviolet rays (such as, for example, those of the Sun), these molecules are excited and emit a fluorescent light of different colors. If they "stretch", the light emitted is blu; if they fold, it will be green. If they take other forms, the light emitted is red.

    This process is carried out by the nanocapsules by means of a variation of UV rays in fluorescents through a process at the molecular level.

    The recent discovery by the US Department of Energy and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and which is based on the evolution of the technology in the laboratory "Warzburg Nanocapsules", Consists in the fact that i nano-crystals I'm able to break down water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen, and from there releasing the energy in a useful form.


    When applied to green paint, fixed on the roof of buildings, this technique - according to US researchers - may be capable of activate domestic users, and to make a house independent from an energy point of view. To believe we just have to wait.
