Fabric produce electricity

In the research of University of South Carolin's the researchers says about our fabric. One day our cotton T-shirts and jeans could have more functions they could work as a flexible energy storage device and charge our cell phones and i pad.Researchers have invented transistors made from cotton fibers, producing “electronic cotton!

This is the basic invention in this technology that our fabric is being used as energy storage devices and perform a lot of amazing tasks like our fabric tell us the temperature of atmosphere.

the electric cotton could detect how fast we’re walking across carpet or how we’re affected by our environment (i.e. t-shirts that measure pollutants in the atmosphere). Their main goal is to create “a seamless interface between electronics and textiles.”

The cellulose that makes up cotton already provides natural installation, which makes the fiber conductive, making it the perfect fabric to create an electrical stream through. The researches have already been doing tests where they treat the cotton with a thin layer of conductive polymer (PEDOT). By adding the polymer the cotton becomes a thousand times more conductive than plain cotton, and keeps the mechanical properties untouched.

One of the first tests the researchers did was tie a knotted end of treated cotton to a battery and the other to a LED, and they created an electrical current. Unfortunately the electrons in the cotton fibers aren’t as strong as silicon circuits so we won’t be seeing MP3 clothing anytime soon. Nor will you ever have to worry about feeling the electric charge!
