Ah that well known benchmark of watts per kg, where’s the links to actual information?

This is great but you should mention how much power generated per square meter . I know its light weight and thats an amazing

Engineers, how is this possible? Because, if it is true, everyone would have just created their source of power.

They wouldn’t let me open an account without a real cell number. I don’t have one. My phone doesn’t have a SIM card in it. But I opened the account anyway. Here’s how.

Researchers have developed fiber-like pumps that allow high-pressure fluidic circuits to be woven into textiles without an external pump. Soft supportive exoskeletons, thermoregulatory clothing, and immersive haptics can therefore be powered from pumps sewn into the fabric of the devices themselves. Credit: EPFL

🇨🇳🇺🇸 ELON: CHINA'S SOLAR SURGE IS HALF OF THE U.S. POWER "China's production capacity for solar is 1500GW/year. They're deploying over 1000GW/year of solar. For a continuous solar load, you divide that by roughly 4 or 5. That's around 250GW of steady state power paired with batteries. That's half of the average power usage in the U.S. China can provide steady state power, and batteries can do half of the U.S. electricity output per year just for solar. Solar is by far the biggest source of energy." Source: Elon Musk, WEF
