The whole thing would be better if centrifuged..not everyone has one of these things though.

I watched on public tv last night a show titled"The Botany of Desire".It was talking mostly about plants.The flowering plants came into being about 100 million years ago.So they talked about tulips
and showed a lot of dazzling colors.So they talked about how the plants evolved different chemicals.
If chlorophyll is photoreactive then maybe some of the other chemicals are too from the petals of a colorful flower?So maybe a red,yellow ,or blue chemical from a flower's head would be more photoreactive than regular chlorophyll?It would still be extracted the same way.Just thinking out loud here.Triffid

Hi triffid,
nice ideas,
is anyone going to try it ?

Am pretty stuck again in work,
but tried today a few new tests for my
upcoming graphitepaper-alufoil homemade battery, which
can power a Joule Thief.

Will soon post a few videos about it.

But maybe some of you can try this solar cell now  and
post results ?

Many thanks.

Regards, Stefan.
