December 20, 2009 at 11:22A prototype of curtains using solar energy is created
Energy saving problems can be solved soon! This is claimed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Sheila Kennedy. She and her partner Frano Vaiolic designed a “soft house” that uses the energy that photovoltaic curtains absorb. Under the cut a lot of concept images.
After much research, they managed to create the Soft House project - a structure that can receive 16 thousand Wh * due to curtains, which are used as light elements for the absorption and processing of solar energy.
The project uses photovoltaic fabrics obtained from organic materials. Unlike conventional solar panels, they can be easily modified and pressed.
Currently, there are already several working prototypes of the “soft house”.
