Free electricity by the movement of the body?  

I was going to say that we used to call this static electricity. However, these guys think that they have gone beyond that. I am not really certain that I would want to wear an electric shirt just to power my MP3 player. But is is an interesting concept.

Bravo. My husband game me this article and said I should start a myLot discussion about it, but I didn't get around to it and now you have don it for me. Amazing technology! I had been trying to do a little reading from time to time just to be acquainted with the general ideas of what nano technology was and where it was going, but this is just incredible! I'm firmly convinced that the naysayers are barking up the wrong tree. The fabric itself doesn't have to be waterproof once the figure how how to shield it from the elements without diminishing its effectiveness. Should be a piece of cake. It wouldn't have to be worn like full-body armor, but one could think of many useful applications.

This is a pretty interesting concept. When you think about it all of us at one time or another have felt static electricity. Scientist have come a long way over the years and it wouldn't surprise me if they managed to do this also.

I cant wait for that day when I would be the generator of my own electricity zenith2007. in my country, we have power distibutors who are literally looting us with revised power tarrifs each other month. Because they are monopolists, we look helplessly at their cheating ways-let that time come and come very quickly-I would do anything to generate enough power to free myself from the electricity thieves we have in my country. Thanks for the post.

if these nanowires can be insulated without taking away their ability to generate, then we have ourselves a pretty good energy solution
