Skirt Cafe is an on-line community dedicated to exploring, promoting and advocating skirts and kilts as a fashion choice for men, formerly known as men in skirts. We do this in the context of men's fashion freedom --- an expansion of choices beyond those commonly available for men to include kilts, skirts and other garments. We recognize a diversity of styles our members feel comfortable wearing, and do not exclude any potential choices. Continuing dialog on gender is encouraged in the context of fashion freedom for men. See here for more details.
Discussion of fashion elements and looks that are traditionally considered somewhat "femme" but are presented in a masculine context. This is NOT about transvestism or crossdressing.

I noticed how nice a skirt flares out when I'm standing over a heating vent. Could one invent a low-power, low noise, portable device built into a skirt?

This gives me an idea for a fabric that is light sensitive and creates electricity. Technology today is not far off from being able to produce something like this. I think this would be advantageous in that one could charge a cell phone or other device without anything other than the clothes they were wearing.
Social norms aren't changed by Congress or Parliament; they're changed by a sufficient number of people ignoring the existing ones and publicly practicing new ones.
Fans on the footwear would be hard on the ankles if they came in contact. The skirt could be inflated, with a membrane near the hem, elasticised leg holes and a good diet of cabbage.

I have owned garments like that, emitting a loud crack from a high voltage spark when disrobing.

Regarding the construction of a 'skirt ventilator', my thoughts are as follows:-
The airflow is provided by a powered respirator belt pack unit
The air is taken through a type of hoop underskirt construction, possibly in skeleton format and made from sil nylon or similar. Small PVC tubing is also possible, but probably too rigid.
The bottom hem is a complete circle, closed up to be a pipe, with a series of holes to allow the air to flow up inside the skirt.
The only difficulty I see in this, apart from the trial and error of the ventilation holes, is the potential noise from the belt pack.

Convincing a doctor of your medical need for a portable ventilator could be tricky I guess the batteries could be stored by the wearer in some sort of backpack? Only hovercraft should have inflatable skirts...
The pumps make a noise, and have you seen the price of the batteries? I don't fancy spending £250 per battery just to prevent a flat skirt!
This is getting silly, I suppose you could have an inflatable skeleton/frame inside the skirt, just use a sparklet to blow it up when volume is required (like a mini version of those tents with a pump up frame), or go the whole way- see below, very silly!

No, I'm not proficient in designing such things.
