Wear SILVER: Cotton coated with microscopic metal wires traps 80% of body heat and can even be used like an electric blanket. Scientists are already working on another coating to keep clothes and their wearers cool in hot temperatures. Prototype cotton fabric is coated in silver nanowires to trap body heat It's as effective as a thick fleece, trapping 80% of heat Material uses silver because it reflects infrared radiation back to the body A small electric charge can be applied so it works like an electric blanket Experts from Stanford University say the cloth's breathable and lightweight It was developed to save energy produced by central heating By SARAH GRIFFITHS FOR MAILONLINE Wearing clothes made from cloth covered with tiny silver wires may reduce your heating bills in the future.
I swear, silver is the "human" metal just like cannabis is the "human" plant (my opinion, but we have evolved with the plant and there are more uses for hemp, including food and clothing, than any other plant) silver is like that for metals. We just keep finding new ways to make it useful to us and as we grow and our technology broadens, it's silver that's always there with us. I'm personally really excited about this idea. I want me some silver clothes, silver lining in my hiking boots would be nice too. I just hope it gets out of the trial stage and goes on market without competition from so many other companies bringing it to a halt (as was the case with hemp).
I wonder if this would conduct electricity and act as a defensive layer against tasers etc. That would make it currently illegal to wear one wouldn't it? Still, I wouldn't get too excited, about five years ago they were going to make hospital gowns and bed sheets with silver in them to cut down the incidences of infection, including golden staph. We still have golden staph but I have seen no sign of the silver sheets, too expensive at the moment but when we run out of antibiotics we might see them.
It's not a new idea. Air force systems command and darpa habe been working on things like this for ages. It actually started out because silver in clothing reduces smell and is anti bacterial (useful for sweaty soldiers who might not get a shower for weeks at a time). Sliver in stocks and jocks already exists for those reasons. Because it's such a good heat conductor you can actually use it to keep cool with a small heat exchanger.
They cover many of those things in the article phrenzy. I figured "surely people didn't just now think of this" but they're making it sound like the method used is new. Nanotechnology I guess. As far as it being illegal to wear something that protects against tasers, sounds absurd to me. I can wear a bulletproof vest if I want to. Wouldn't be breaking any laws by doing so.
Apparently a bulletproof vest is a category E weapon, at least it is in Queensland. So you can probably get a license to have one, I haven't.
On top of keeping you warm when your house has been bombed and keeping your wounds from bacterial infection, silver also helps shield you from drones using infrared - http://www.wired.com/2013/01/anti-drone-camouflage-apparel/
After seeing how hard it is to pull the barbs if a taser out u think I'd like to wear a taser proof shirt. Even if I was paying mithril prices (just saw the new hobbit .
I live in a country that allows me to buy assault rifles, so the rules might be different here lol some guns you need a license for, but I know you can get a semi-automatic AK-47 and apparently it's very easy to modify it to become fully auto. I can't see needing a license for a vest in America but I could be wrong. Pretty sure you can just buy them online.
Forget tin foil hats guy, its all about silver coated ponchos!!! protects against the three biggest threats we face: 1. Aliens 2. Terrorists 3. GOVERNMENT
