Development of a kinetic energy harvesting suit using elasto-polymer fabric

国防和航空布线公司(DBA DAVWIRE)是一家总部位于伦敦的电气/电子领域的合同制造商，成立于2003年，专门生产线束、电池板(例如配电和控制)和机电(机电)组件。该公司寻求与范沙韦学院合作开发一种基于专有弹性聚合物织物的能量收集原型，该织物能够保持织物变形时产生的动能。与范肖设计学院的教职员工和学生合作，特别是时装设计高级文凭项目，原型西装将成为一个平台，既可以技术展示他们的弹性聚合物织物及其能量收集能力，也可以进一步将这种织物作为一种可穿戴技术进行实验室实验。归根结底，这起诉讼是为了在执法、紧急服务和武装部队等高度活跃的环境中进行医学研究、医疗康复服务和人员健康监测。

Defense & Aviation Wiring Inc. (dba DAVWIRE)-a London, ON-based contract manufacturer in the electrical/electronic arena, incorporated since 2003, that specializes in wire harnesses, electrical panels, (e.g. power distribution and controls), and electro-mechanical (Mechatronic) assemblies-seeks to partner with Fanshawe College to develop a prototype energy harvesting suit based on a proprietary elasto-polymer fabric capable of retaining kinetic energy produced when that fabric is deformed. Working with faculty and students from Fanshawe's School of Design, particularly the Fashion Design advanced diploma program, the prototype suit will serve as a platform for both technical demonstrations of their elasto-polymer fabric and its energy harvesting capabilities and further lab experimentation with the fabric as a wearable technology. Ultimately, the suit is intended for medical research, medical rehabilitation services, and personnel health monitoring within highly active environments such as law enforcement, emergency services, and the armed forces.
