• Wearable SILVER solar cells turn soldiers into sitting ducks

    Well, if defense forces around the globe are seriously looking forward to having their soldiers generate electricity on the go, with solar panels, we suggest they have these embedded in military uniforms! Unlike these wearable flexible panels for instance, developed by the Australian National University. The idea of having soldiers generate electricity from the sun while on the go, to power up the devices they carry around, seems feasible, though having these SILVER cells that can easily be spotted by snipers, turning soldiers into sitting-ducks, seems just wrong!


    There certainly are better ways of camouflaging solar panels too, without having soldiers give away their positions thanks to all the shine!
