Pantyhose That Can Generate Power

U.S. scientists have developed Pantyhose that generates its own electricity, enough power to recharge an Iphone or ensure that a Ipod Shuffle never runs out of juice.

If made into a shirt, the fabric could harness power from its wearer simply walking around or even from a slight breeze.


The nanogenerator takes advantage of the properties of zinc oxide nanowires -- tiny wires 1,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair - woven into the fabric. The wires are formed into pairs of microscopic brush-like structures, shaped like a little cone.

One of the fibers in each pair is coated with gold and serves as an electrode. As the bristles brush together through a person's body movement, the wires convert the motion into electricity.

    Stupidest Police Sketch Ever - Have You Seen This Man

    In a world of stupidity and often bad information this is probably the most useless sketch used to catch a robber. The Royal Thai Police have released this sketch below of a bank robber and are asking anyone who may have seen him to contact them.

    He has mirrored visor for a face, no features and his black head is very bulbous - wait a moment, is it possible he is wearing a helmet?

    Mr Big Black Head is suspected of stealing 200,000 baht ($6,412 USD) from the Ladprao branch of the Government Savings Bank in Bangkok a few weeks ago.

    Police rigorously gathered witness statements which were corroborated to paint a perfect picture of the bank robber.Below is what they ended up with. I believe he is here in the United States now. A man that looked just like this passed me riding a motorcycle on the highway today.

    In the USA about 37.5 million - 20% of cell phones are lost, stolen, damaged or tossed into a lake by a jealous girlfriend like mine was.

    When a cell phone is lost, you lose contact; the whole world stops.

    Your Time Is Limited, So Don’t Waste It living Someone Else's Life

    “Your time is limited, So don’t waste it living someone else's life. Don’t be trapped by Dogma – which is living with the results of other peoples thinking.

    Don’t let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice and most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become, Everything else is secondary.” – Steve Jobs
