When I first saw the headline "Solar Powered Bikini," I wondered what they would think of next. Sure, we all know the sun to be a great energy source saving us money on batteries and electricity. There's the solar panels for your house, the solar powered lights for your walkway, automotive hybrids, but now a solar powered bikini?
So what would such an item be good for? Well, how many times do you head out to the beach making sure you have your cell phone fully charged, fresh batteries in your iPod or try to pack enough ice in your cooler to keep your drinks nice and cold? It's all a project in itself just to go soak up some rays, but this Solar Powered Bikini is supposed to be the solution. The suit soaks up the sun's rays as you get a golden tan and can charge your iPod through a USB connection in the hip section of your suit, ensuring your ability to listen to your favorite tunes your entire stay on the sand.
My question is, do you change into a second suit in order to hit the waves?
