Fiber power: Need a buzz? Be your own power grid.[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] * Troops in combat constantly clamor for lightweight electrical power solutions. A partial answer may be in the offing coming; arriving in the foreseeable future. visible but not nearby.

It is a member school in the university system of Georgia. Significant among its facilities and programs are the Frank H. . They are working on fiber-based nanotechnology clothing that would power radios and other portable devices simply by the natural movement of a soldier. "If we can combine many of these fibers in double or triple layers of clothing, we could provide a flexible, foldable and wearable power source that ... would allow people to generate their own electrical current while walking," says Zhong Lin Wang Lin Wang (Chinese: 林旺; Juyin: ㄌ一ㄣˊ ㄨㄤˋ pinyin: Lín Wàng) (1917 – February 26, 2003) was a famous Asian elephant that served with the Chinese Expeditionary Force during the second Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945) , a scientist in charge of the project at the Georgia institute.
