Voltree looks to harness trees' electric energy and use it to power sensors that detect forest fires
It's true. Scientists know that each individual tree generates a faint (we're talking 100 to 200 millivolts) electrical current. Recently, however, researchers have begun to figure out why and ...
Electrical treeing represents a critical degradation mechanism in high voltage insulation systems, often leading to premature failure of polymeric materials. This phenomenon involves the progressive ...
Scientists have theorised for nearly a century that thunderstorms could induce weak electrical discharges in plants. When a ...
In A Nutshell Penn State scientists captured the first direct evidence of trees producing faint electrical glows, called coronae, during live thunderstorms. The discharges hop erratically from leaf to ...
The International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), which published Best Management Practices for tree risk assessment for general settings, recently released a companion publication for tree risk ...
PPL Electric Utilities has been recognized as a Tree Line USA utility for its vegetation management program and community educational efforts. The award comes from the National Arbor Day Foundation, ...
