@@AndreVanKammen Yes, it would. For example, they currently sell carbon laced monofilament nylon strings for nylon string guitars, ukuleles, charango, etc. not only does it turn the strings black, but it produces a more piercing treble. It works better on some instruments, music genres, and playing styles, than others. I don’t know how important the shape is to the carbon yarn’s electrical generation property, but nylon guitar strings are built very differently, and much experimentation would be required. Guitarists can be picky, so all the effort may or may not be well received.
It seems like these strings need to be submerged or insulated with some type of ion rich gel to work, so idk how you would make a decent sounding string that can stay in tune and endure weeks of being plucked at tension and not break, but a cool idea if they find the ability for it to work in plain air.
Using one of these with an RS-latch would be an amazing way to run safety warnings. As soon as something slips or is tugged, that tiny current flips the latch into the alarm state, and boom, problem noted. Cheap and low-profile, too
Good. I'd also attach to nylon braid, than binding stuff for pallets, so it picks up vibration from the environment. If it was easy everyone wound have a wind up ohone
As a male, my mind went straight to the fierce kinetic energy bursts I experienced as a young teen. If only I could have harnessed that in electrical energy! I would never have to pay a power bill again

wait, yeah, does doing this in reverse cause the string to retract? putting a charge into the carbon wires? that could be helpful for artificial muscles.
Graphene (in computer simulations) can filter salt from sea water at a fraction of the cost of RO (reverse osmosis). It's not an overstatement to say that kind of technology will change the world
Actually no. Unless by a fraction of the cost you mean 95% of the cost. See, the laws of thermodynamics say that there is a minimum amount of energy per liter needed to remove ions from salt water and undo the entropy. The thing is, current RO plants are already within 1 to 5 percent of this minimum energy usage, so the permeability of the current membranes are actually already pretty good. Even if graphene works at desalinating water like it does in the simulations, all it would do is increase membrane permeability, which yes would increase energy efficiency, but not by much, 1 to 5 percent extra efficiency. Past that, sorry, it doesn't matter how perfect of a machine you have, you can't beat thermodynamics.
Ya but don't forget that having salty ocean water is essential for all life on earth. We just can't start purifying millions of tons of ocean water without considering the ramifications of doing so.
I built a 0/4 kite string out of carbon nanotubes yarn to fly a titanium polymer carbon fiber kite behind my Tesla. Now I have unlimited range because I'm always charging from the kite as I'm driving. It's also an added bonus if the kite hits power lines, I call that maniac charging. The nanotube kite string is also useful if I attach it to the back of a semi truck, that really improve the range of my Tesla. I just put a few dollars in the truck drivers Uber account for the tow. I am also selling white gloves and ketchup Popsicles
where does the kites energy come from? of course, it comes from an added drag force on your car, which means that you aren’t really generating new energy at all. and the kite is probably not 100% energy efficient, because no generator can be, so you’re just wasting power. i know this is a joke but conservation of energy, people!
Ironically I think the amount of work you’d have to put in to the gloves in order to generate enough electricity to warm a pair of cold hands would result in your hands warming up due to metabolic changes and friction, not due to the energy gloves themselves.
@@primate745 Wouldn't you have more heat then? I remember trying to heat my hands with gloves and there was a point where I couldn't get my hands any warmer
@@HDMOVIECREATOR2012 i suppose it depends on its interaction with the em spectrum and other things. It might be a good insulator. It might also be a good thermal conductor which could cool your hands... also you would be taking work and indirectly converting it to heat with some “lost” in the electromagnetic field running through the conductor, which may have a cooling effect as well. At any rate it’s not clear to me what the net effect would be but my intuition is that it would have a cooling effect.
@@SC-zq6cu True. Imagine getting pulled over while driving to work. "I know what this looks like, officer. It's exactly what you think and I have to to keep the battery charged."
@@enjigaming11 No it wont. You need a sufficiently high voltage to exceed the dielectric breakdown potential of your skin, not happening with nanotubes.
Though I'm not totally sure about nanotubes, some researchers at MIT recently figured out how to mass produce high quality sheets of graphene. I'm pretty sure from sheets, tubes can be created. The price will come down once the infrastructure is put in place to get production accelerated.
Here is an idea: bussy streets fused with this matterial.. especially if including driving parts too.. basically applying this concept to any moving object, structure and design could potentially reduce energy requirements by taking a big load of main energy grid.. every mechanical instrument and machinery would use less energy.. possibilities are great..
That seems like it was made for harvesting energy from ocean waves. The way a wave works is the water doesn't do much moving. Just enough to create the formation of the shape of the wave as that shape travels, but not the water. So it means if anchor something below the surface and put a float to ride the up and down from the passing waves you are directly harnessing it's energy. All you need is something that can harness energy when you pull on it just as the float above pulls against the anchor as the wave passes.
MJOLNIR armour is described as having a Piezoelectric Under Layer to help power the overall suit. Power requirements for that would be intense. However, if you made a skin suit out of this stuff. Coupled with a passive cooling layer. The wearer could deliver the stored potential energy to different nodes around their community. Millions of people wearing this and doing this activity could convert food energy into utility energy. Off setting the need for stationary power production stations reconverting that land area into farm land.
Anchor them on the ocean floor and have them tied to a bowy so that when the waves ungilate up and down they stretch the cable and then unstretch it as the waves roll....pretty cool concept just as long as fish or jelly fish don't get tangled up in them.
If used as muscle in a sense. You can generate power to charge a battery on an skeletoral machine. You can make a pump like the heart that generates that electricity to run the rest. Then this chain reaction of movement can generate enough power to push thru transformers to move more parts to generate more power 🤔
Now basically the only new principle involved is that instead of power being generated by the relative motion of conductors and fluxes, it is produced by the modial interaction of magneto-reluctance and capacitive diractance.
It's amazing the amount of strange properties that scientists keep discovering from carbon when it is turned into nano stuff and graphite. That element is really something special, no wonder life is based on it.
Springs and any other structure that under goes a lot of strain deformation could potentially use this tech. Car suspension springs might not need shock absorbers if they are effective enough.
All I can think of is that one scene in the animatrix where the robots are hauling cargo containers up a ramp like egyptian slaves, I'm now imagining that the ropes they were using were these special yarn, which was charging the bots as they pulled, interesting to think that ropes and pulleys may come back into fashion for construction, albeit in highly advanced form
Sounds intriguingly similar to the kinetic energy absorbing Black Panther suit. Thousands of these strands made into a type of work clothing should produce a constant amount of current while on shift, then harness and store the power while resting.
Waiting for Crysis style nanosuit or black panther suit, which can dampen the bullet impacts by converting kinetic energy to electrical energy for suit...
250W/kg????? Do you realize how LIGHT those “carbon nanotube” strings are?? Enough energy to power a house for a year would use an unimaginable amount of material
Nice and all but at the moment im not convinced. I equate it to rubbing my socks on the carpet to make static electricity. It seems to require recoprocating motion in some for so more mech wear. Magnetism or other atomic forces are still the future for me
