Pliable Solar Cells on a Roll
klevin writes "New Scientist is running a story on someone else who's developed thin, flexible, photovoltaic cells: 'The thin and bendy solar panels can be stuck to fabrics, sheets or backpacks and promise a go-anywhere electricity supply.' Whatever happened to those sheets of solar cells that some university here in the US developed several years back? As I remember, the concept was that they could be draped across roof-tops and whatnot. Never heard anything after that." We had post about solar building clothing last year.
The new Apple fashion: instead of black shadow people in their iPod advertisements, everyone is now covered with solar panels. (This might actually help the batter life, though, so it's not a total loss.)
i live in oregon and i really cant wait to get a solor powered raincoat. oh wait
I don't care what anyone says.
2 41&tid=126" story. Trust me, those things taste absolutely nothing like fruit-rollups.
Now matter how pliable or environmentally friendly, solar cells are not good on a roll. They taste absolutely nothing like butter, and quite frankly, I find them barely palatable.
Don't the editors try this these things themselves? This is as bad as that "http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/10/28/1852
Mod me down and I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine!
Oh no! Ossama got an AA battery!
1 Sheet A4 10 Euros probably meaning at least 9 euros or 9-10W
A4=0.0625 m^2 IIRC
So 1m^2=144-160W
Add suitable number of pinches of salt.
Alternatively find out how efficient regular solar panels are and reduce the power output by 50-65%.
Please tell me you don't ice your cake with salt.
> Watts are metric dumbass. There is no such thing as English Watts.
Moreover James Watt was from Scotland. Thus there is such a thing as Scottish Watt but never English Watt.
