Clothing-electric generator of nanofibers
In the future, according to scientists and developers from the Institute of Georgia, clothing will play the role of an autonomous generator. It will provide electricity to mobile devices due to the fact that it will be made of nanofiber, which is able to generate electricity.
Scientists have succeeded in producing nanofibres from zinc oxide, which are 1000 times thinner than a hair. These fibers (half of which are coated with gold and serve as electrodes) and are woven into the fabric. Conventional fibers and electrodes, bending in a "pair", and convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. 1 square meter of similar fabric, according to the project manager Zhong Lin Wong, is enough to produce 80 MW of electricity. This is enough to power, for example, an MP3 player.
The disadvantage of this approach to creating a clothes generator is still the destructibility of zinc oxide when wet. Therefore, at the moment, American scientists are working to create a special coating for nanofibers, which will protect them during rain and washing.
