3D printed patterns for TWP connectors

Tree of Water and Power is a better way to mount photovoltaic cells using less material and labor, lower cost, and greater PV surface area than all current mounting methods, including existing 'solar trees.' TWP adheres to principles that govern trees in nature; a law observed by Leonardo da Vinci, that dictates that the cross-sectional area of branches above are equal to the generations of branches below; ultimately all the branches at the top add up to the same diameter as the trunk. treeofwaterandpower.com/researchanddevelopment/

Current Report

The functional elements of the prototype have been completed over the past 18 months and progress is solid. Branch connector patterns and molds have been 3D printed and leaf cells have been produced which have demonstrated electroluminescent and PV functionality. Now we are looking for the support of people who also believe in our mission: liberating our society from energy scarcity; clean air, water, and energy for all humans.

Why are we doing it?

We have embarked on this mission because we know the impact that Tree of Water and Power could make all around the globe. We believe it is possible to never have a resource war. We believe that dignity in modern life requires reliable energy; an ecologically sympathetic energy-harvesting method has the power to transform society with a new level of growth, leaving behind outmoded concepts such as resource scarcity, for a future of abundance and unlimited potential.
