قماش خفيف ينتج الطاقة الكهربائية

قماش خفيف يصلح لتفصيل القمصان، ويمكنه أن ينتج الطاقة الكهربائية ، بما يكفي لشحن الهاتف الخلوي، أو مشغّل الموسيقى، حيث تنتج الكطاقة الكهربائية عندما تحتك أجزاء متناهية الصغر من النسيج مع بعضها البعض لتتجمع الشحنات بشكل منظّم وتنتج الطاقة.

Nanowire fabric can be used in t-shirts and other clothes in the future to serve as a power-plant for our gadgets.The fabric is created by coating kevlar strands with zinc oxide nanowires, protecting the bushy wires with a polymer, and adding gold to other fibers to act as a conductor. The piezoelectric power-generating action comes when the nanowires bend as two fibers rub together, creating electricity which flows along the gold fibers.“Our estimates show we can have up to 80 milliwatts per square meter of this fabric. This is enough to power a little iPod or charge a cell phone battery,” said Professor Zhong Lin Wang, who led the team of researchers.One major problem remains: zinc oxide degrades when wet, meaning that the material would essentially stop working when it starts raining or it gets washed.
