Reply to comment by Dave-C in Researchers demo new type of carbon nanotube yarn that harvests mechanical energy by AbbydonX
While any energy harvested ultimately comes from work done by the wearer, it isn’t necessarily entirely additional work that wouldn’t be done if wearing non-energy harvesting fabric. It’s just that the energy transferred to the fabric can potentially be harvested for orher purposes by the carbon nanotube yarn.
With that said, I assume a useful energy harvesting fabric would feel like smoothly flowing lightweight silk. Hopefully it would be better than sackcloth though!

Hopefully it doesn't feel like crispy sweater yarn lol.
