Abstract

Bags and sheets can be used to perform a variety of tasks - these can make structures for use outdoors - they can be used in industry or for fun. Bags can be used to make anchors and provide flotation. Along with a description that describes applications of bags for fun. there is also a description of various renewable energy systems and industries that can use the bags for all sorts of applications.
