Can energy be derived from plants?
I do not mean can we use biomass fuels or co2 from algae. What I mean is there currently a way to use plants basically as solar panels that we then connect some sort of machine to and harness the energy to turn a generator and make electricity. Like a symbiotic relationship. Any info/links to info on this subject would be great thanks.
Yes, it is possible and it has already been tried (and it worked!)
German researchers combined Algae and nano silver particles, by this they raised the effectivity of the Algae by 18 times. They hope to use this in sun collectors (which in theory is possible).
So... yea, seems it's possible - if it wasn't, then experts of this field would not try to do it. It's almost exactly what you described, but it's more like using the advantage of the plants... some kind of bionic stuff.
