Engineering360: "Coating promises to remove ice, snow from solar panels"

My My! I have been using a product like that on my car windscreen for years. Now it has been invented by a university. Rain X. No one though of using that? All fancy degrees and cleverness gone to waste.

Ah well back to the future for me, earth is a silly place.

They have to do something to justify their existence.

. . . and getting sillier by the day.

I totally agree. I know it works damned well, drove for miles in the UK rain and rarely used my wipers.

Can you imagine, someone might soon invent a wheel and then we will have flying machines and strange beast traveling on our roads and communication devices we carry around to talk to one another. Can you imagine such devilish things. I shudder.
