First he determined the ratios representing the spiral pattern of the leaves and branches on an oak tree, using a cylindrical double-protractor tool of his own design. Then he copied the pattern using a computer program, and built an oak tree-shaped solar array out of PVC pipe. He next built a flat-panel array mounted at 45 degrees, like a typical home rooftop array, and attached data loggers to each model to monitor voltage.[...]
He determined the tree’s Fibonacci pattern allowed some solar panels to collect sunlight even if others were in shade, and prevented branches on a tree from shading other branches.
The hand is so versatile Matthew can grip a pen to draw pictures and write, tie his shoe laces and catch a ball.
The hand, made from high-grade plastic with a black silicone socket, literally plugs into Matthew's arm.
Two electrodes on the inside of the socket detect electrical impulses made by the muscles in Matthew's lower arm.
The signals are then beamed to a mini-computer in the palm which translates the messages into movements, replicating a normal hand.
