New manufacturing processes for alternative energy capture

[Niri Te]

Good morning blueskins, take a look at the video that this link will take you to. This is how flexible thin film photo voltaics are made. These new hyperlight, bendable, printable panels could cover the upper surface of the wing and fuselage of an electric powered aircraft, giving it both ZERO pollutants, AND UNLIMITED RANGE. THIS is the technology that I was discussing with Billy Mitchell, the then Director of the Sun-N-Fun Airshow, (2nd largest in the world), for a solar powered blimp that I would like to fly around the World back in 1987. This link will lead to other links, one of which, shows how the flexible panels are made.
