contents We propose two new kinds of infinite resistor networks based on the Fibonacci sequence: a serial association of resistor sets connected in parallel (type 1) or a parallel association of resistor sets connected in series (type 2). We show that the sequence of the network's equivalent resistance converges uniformly in the parameter $α=\frac{r_2}{r_1} \in [0,+\infty)$, where $r_1$ and $r_2$ are the first and second resistors in the network. We also show that these networks exhibit self-similarity and scale invariance, which mimics a self-similar fractal. We also provide some generalizations, including resistor networks based on high-order Fibonacci sequences and other recursive combinatorial sequences.
