“Bionic Leaf” Makes Fuel from Sunlight
- JoeAltmaier 12y ago"The bionic leaf can pump out 216 milligrams of isopropanol per liter of water—an efficiency that rivals that of a corn plant making starch-rich kernels out of sunlight." Critical: how long does it take? The corn takes all summer. The process efficiency PER TIME is the most important measurement. If the leaf takes only a day or an hour, then its many thousands of times more efficient than the corn plant.
