Abstract
An active textile comprising a weave comprised of threads made of a plurality of conductive fibers; a plurality of magnets; and a plurality of non-conductive, non-magnetic flexible fabric fibers; a controller for generating and selectively transmitting electric current along the conductive fibers and a power source. Selective transmittal of electric current along the conductive fibers selectively induces magnetic fields that operate on the magnets, thereby producing physical movements within the textile.
