Probably a new approach to efficiently reduce our energy budget – the thermal underwear of the German company warmX: Silvered fibres are woven into the fabric of this new kind of underwear and then supplied with electricity by a small rechargeable battery. The knitted fabric warms the skin without heating wires.

Indeed this invention raises the question why we are heating whole rooms and houses while infact we only want ourself to be warm and comfortable. If anyone would wear this kind of underwear, we could probably reduce our room temperature from 20° C to probably 15° C – this would mean a massive energy saving!

Till fusion power projects like e.g. ITER will finally bring us salvation in shape of unlimited and clean energy, intelligent ideas of individuals like the inventors of warmX, might bring us one steap further. And for those who cannot wait (e.g. the citizens of Ukraine that got shut off their gas pipes by Mr. Putin): the underwear is already available in the warmX online shop.
