Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

For the first time, a fractal solar collector operating in the cogeneration mode is proposed. In this context, we are talking about a modern innovative system that uses fractal structures to optimize the processes of collecting, distributing and converting solar energy simultaneously into thermal and electrical energy. The detailed design and results of the conducted experiment of this system are given. The stages of the experiment are shown in order to gain a deeper understanding of the principles of operation of a collector operating in the cogeneration mode. The high efficiency and promising application of this system in the field of renewable energy have been experimentally proven. In addition, the results obtained demonstrate the possibility of using the proposed fractal collector as an alternative energy source, which opens up new ways to develop energy-efficient and environmentally friendly technologies of the future.
