Solar Cell Phone Charger
Roland Kleinfeld, a jeweler and entrepreneur, has designed a cell phone charger that uses solar energy. It looks like a cell phone, except the flip-out reveals solar panels, and the body contains the battery pack, which can hold adequate charge for up to 14 days. [via Open Source Energy Network]
The company says the solar cell phone charger is compatible with most cell phones, including over 30 Nokia models, 20 Ericsson models, 14 Motorola/Nextel models, and 8 Seimens models.
Other solar battery charger systems have proven counter-productive for the damage that the sun's head does to the batteries and their longevity, as well as causing leakage."
