Abstract:
A honeycomb core includes a first wall secured to a second wall and a conductor disposed therebetween. A honeycomb cell is formed between the first wall and the second wall and the conductor is configured to extend through the cell and a point where the first wall and the second wall are secured together.

Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a structural electrical system includes an electrical power source operable to provide electrical current, a structural composite, and a plurality of output devices. The structural composite includes alternating layers of conductive layers and insulative layers. Each conductive layer is less than or equal to 500 nanometers thick and each conductive layer is in electrical communication with the electrical power source. The plurality of output devices are in electrical communication with each conductive layer and are operable to receive electrical current from the electrical power source through the conductive layers.
