Wired for sound…and power…and data and… e-textiles

From the BBC comes a report on “e-textiles” that can provide clothes with a single, central power source to charge devices. Intelligent Textiles from Surrey UK  has developed and is testing a lightweight uniform for the military that has conductive fibres woven into it.  Rather than carrying seperate batteries for each device, a central battery can be carried and devices powered via the conductive fabrics.
