Good News! Other than giving you skin cancer, the sun can actually be of good use. Behold! The Solar Panel Bag.
Unless you are living under a rock, (fraggle rock) or live in a cave (Osama) you should have plenty o' sun (fingers crossed) for you to pull this baby out and start pumping energy into whatever device you may have to pass the time and keep you from thinking suicidal thoughts. So what can this baby really do?
15 watt output of the rugged solar panels on the Voltaic Generator, which is pretty significant. It’s enough to recharge a “standard” (read: 1-3 hour) laptop battery in about 5 hours of full sunlight, or boost the runtime of your laptop by somewhere between 20 and 45 minutes per hour of sunlight. An hour of sunlight is also enough to fully charge most cell phones, MP3 players, and small digital cameras. If you don’t have anything in dire need of charging, the Generator comes with an internal 58 watt hour lithium ion battery that can be charged from the solar panels, giving you a way to charge your gadgets at night. And if all else fails, you can cheat, and charge the battery pack with a wall plug or car adapter.
The Voltaic Generator comes with about a million adapters for electronics, and is available now in a few different colors for a not insignificant $499.
Not only can this bag charge your …ish (only when its sunny) but you can look cool while doing it too, with stylish leather that comes in different colours.
