Looking for some fun in the sun, but can’t bear to leave your Treo behind? The Juice Bag Solar Beach Tote
will soak in the rays and charge your phone, camera, iPod or other
electronic device while you ironically administer your sunscreen. Utilizing the removable 12" x 12" (30 x 30 cm) flexible solar panel will power up any device that can charge through a
"Universal CLA/Car Charger Female Socket" – those things we used to
call "cigarette lighters".
Power Rating Specifications:
- Power 6.3 Watts
- Voltage, 16.6 Volts
- Current, 0.325 Amps
- Solar Panel Weight 0.45 lb.
- Solar Panel Size 12 x 12 x 0.1 inches
Don’t start dreaming about taking your laptop to the beach just
yet – they need about four times as much output to work reliably. If
you’re brilliantly light skinned like most geeks, you might be able to run a 6 watt Linutop by laying next to the bag and using your body as a solar reflector…maybe.
For
all you early adopters out there, nothing says "Geek Cred" quite like
producing your own electricity while communing with nature. Look for
these to become wildly popular when they cost a lot less than $250.
