*Short description of design:*

Regarding the Solarcell-Textile as an intelligent membrane we have invented a renewable material that can be integrated in all textile design aspects. This concept works in all levels from body to landscape and with broad human and public relevans it sets tempting standards for products and improved lifeforms to come. (For more info: www.hertz-langberg.com) 

*Functionallity and use of design:*

The textile is based on solarcell-technology creating renewable energy. Being in pocession of this flexible and lightweight Energy-Cloth you will always be self-sufficient creating your own ’Mobile-Electricity’. This intelligent textile generates a great potential in widespread areas such as; Nomad-Cultures, medical treatment, bodybags or even covering of whole landscape-areas.

---++++ 'Solar cloth'

'Solar cloth' offers moveable power

These films - only a few microns thick - could in theory be laid on to fabrics, or clothing fibres prior to the weaving process. 

Professor Wilson told BBC News Online that the textiles could be efficient enough to produce 100 watts per square metre in very sunny countries. 

He said: "We have completed a year-long feasibility study and we believe we can put the film on to fibres, and that it will work pretty well when it is there. 

"However, the surface area of clothing, at the current level of efficiency, is probably only enough to power tiny sensors, rather than personal electronic equipment.
