"Look, Mom! I can charge my phone with my feet!"


Imagine.......

This Trouble With This Topic.

My research paper will be about a new spray-on solar cell technology.  I first learned of this invention in Okinawa, Japan on the Armed Forces Network TV.  The news showed what they said was a military invention of spray-on power cells which could turn any object into a solar panel.  The video showed a soldier spraying the cells out of a spray can onto a rock and attaching a walkie talkie via wires.  This technology is useful for the military because it eliminates the need to haul batteries in the field.

Great topic.  Great research?  This remains to be seen.

Unfortunately, since this technology is so new much has not been written on it.  Also, since the product has been used mostly for military and not the civilian sector it may not have been investigated as much So far, I have found nothing containing my topic in the GMU Library systems, though  I have found plenty online.

Wish me luck!
