In order to make normal fabrics that can generate energy, scientists at the University of Massachusetts inflicted on ordinary material special polymer layer. Due to this method of friction they were able to produce the amount of electricity sufficient to activate the led.
The fabric is a thin layer caused the polymer PEDOT. The weight of the fabric was affected only slightly, but gave her a new useful properties. The developers explained that the polymer does not affect the property of the fabric, so it can be washed and ironed. Externally it is no different from ordinary cloth, but it can be a good source of energy for the heart monitor, led light or small sensor. Charge your smartphone using the invention while it does not, but a good start has already been made.
Developers are now hard to say where it can be useful to their development, but in a few years promise to lower the cost of technology, and this is important. Probably then they will come up for its fabrics and some adapter for charging gadgets. Let’s wait and see.
