Adaptive Solar Tree

The Adaptive solar Tree by Welsh designer Ross Lovegrove is smart enough to move its solar panels (more like solar-powered tree branches) according to the sun’s movements, and will be able to escape shadows in order to optimize the energy income. Sounds smart, but unfortunately this feature won’t be applied to all the branches. In addition, these branches have the grey matter to come close together during strong winds in order to prevent any breakage. Hopefully they come with some sort of oxygen generating machine in order to emulate a real tree. This won’t do too much for the local ecosystem though as birds won’t be able to feed off this tree and woodpeckers might end up with a broken beak.
