Just like Gambit from the X-Men, the Veos orb you see here harnesses the power of kinetic energy when tossed into the washer bin, where it will hold a load of fabric softener and a matrix of free-floating zinc/oxide nanowire plates that enables the ball to store the harvested energy, where you can then unload it back to the grid after the wash in order to help lower your monthly power bills while keeping your clothes nice and clean at the same time. This is one idea that is definitely worth marketing for consumers, although we’re not sure whether any company is willing to take up the load of researching it further.
