RE: Clothing that will power your smart phone
Great nan- stuff but the clothing designs are still outdated and out-moded-- at least let's have some fun if we are moving into the 21st century (kicking and screaming) Look at the designs of eugenetsui.com for solar plug ins that sparkle! He;s been talking about this same subject since 1988:)

RE: Clothing that will power your smart phone
Cool idea, and one that I think is becoming more and more feasible. Now, is it possible to create material that not only has solar collection capability, but also SPF capability to protect wearers against skin damage?

RE: Clothing that will power your smart phone
I think this is a very innovative idea. I was wondering if this technology could
possibly be used to recharge a Pacemaker's battery while it is still in the
recipient's body? Anyone have an idea about this application?
