HORNET ENERGY

Hornet

Hornets are wasps of the genus Vespa.

There are about 20 hornet species.

Most live in tropical Asia, Europe, Africa e.t.c

Hornet EnergyResearch was conducted by Scientists in Israel and the

UK by Tel Aviv University’s School of Physics and Astronomy .

Faculty of Medicine have discovered that the Oriental Hornet (Vespa orientalis) has a special ‘solar panel’ that it uses to convert light into usable energy.

Hornet Unique Ability

Exoskeleton of hornet works by converting abdomen into tiny solar cells

UV B rays are the reason for the hornet’s activity level increasing along with sun’s intensity.

The hornet’s biological harvesting capacity is directly proportional to the intensity of the sun.

German journal ,Natural Sciences ,published these newly discovered powers of hornet.

Photo Voltaic Cell Of Hornet• Hornet exoskeleton is made

up of complex cuticle with brown and yellow layers

• Yellow and brown stripes act as photo voltaic cell

• Brown shell is made from grooves that split the light into separate beams

• Yellow is made from "pinhole depressions" holding a pigment called xanthopterin

• Team isolated xanthopterin in a liquid solution, and then placed the solution inside a solid solar cell electrode, a type of conductor

• The scientists shed light on the electrode, the pigment in the solution generated electricity.

Duplicating The Hornet

Researchers tried to duplicate the hornet’s in an effort to harvest solar energy for electricity production

Efforts are still ongoing to refine the model and seek better ways to use the hornet for power solutions.

Unique Characteristics Of The HornetHornet has its own built

-in top quality heat pump structure in its body

It keeps its body cool

during hot afternoon

Its hearing ability help

it to built nest in total darkness with great accuracy .

Juice is also extracted from hornet due to its amazing ability to fly 50 miles a day

Hornet juice is used by sports man as it burn fats and provide energy

It works by activating the metabolism of fat for energy right from the start of physical activity

Hornet Juice is manufactured in Auckland, New Zealand
