Comments on: Nanotechnology in clothing harvests energy from the wearer’s movements http://www.foresight.org/nanodot/?p=2661 examining transformative technology Wed, 03 Apr 2013 18:23:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: - http://www.foresight.org/nanodot/?p=2661#comment-502271 - Sat, 23 Feb 2008 00:24:31 +0000 http://www.foresight.org/nanodot/?p=2661#comment-502271 Skimmed the paper. Kinda interesting, but they said nothing I noticed about conversion efficiency, nor did there seem to be any data presented to let a reader estimate this. Skimmed the paper.

If we can combine many of these fibers in double or triple layers in clothing, we could provide a flexible, foldable and wearable power source that would allow people to generate electrical current while walking." --Zhong Lin Wang, Professor, Georgia Institute of Technology Here’s a quote I found in the Forbes/Wolfe Weekly Insider e-newsletter:
