Solar Sunflowers

I just watched the most amazing TED talk from 2003, by Bill Gross, founder of IdeaLab and CEO of Energy Innovations. If you watch the whole video above Bill explains the development of his Solar Sunflower and it’s brilliant. In the video he’s using genetic algorithms to optimise old-school tech like Stirling Engines to make super-efficient combined solar energy and hot water systems. The version he’s now selling seems even more simple and advanced. How very cool. — DS
