Photovoltaic bikini, this panel-clad bikini is actually a way for beachgoers to charge up their electronics using the sun's rays designed by this panel-clad bikini is actually a way for beachgoers to charge up their electronics using the sun's rays, charges your iPod! (With a USB connection!)
The suit is a standard medium-sized bikini swimsuit retrofitted with 1" x 4" photovoltaic film strips sewn together in series with conductive thread. The PV cells terminate in a 5 volt regulator into a female USB connection
. It can juice up iPhones and other small electronics, but remains completely safe to wear in the water.
iDrink, the male version of the Solar Bikini is coming soon featuring a greater surface area which equals more output voltage. This additional juice is used to power a 1.5 amp peltier junction which cools a single beer.
Day for Night Solar Dress
This sexy dress soaks up the sun’s rays during the day can set aglow at night Designed by Despina Papadopoulos of Studio 5050, the Day-For-Night. Custom-tailored with 448 white circuit board tiles that can be fitted with solar cells, LEDs, or photocells, the entire outfit is connected to an attached microcontroller.
The black solar tiles also charge the batteries which power the device. A hidden control board communicates with the tiles, which are held together by metal rings for an avant-garde chain mail look.
Lux Solar Necklace
Here is a sophisticated solar panel necklace, created by Swedish student designer Mae Yokoyama.
This solar Necklace is made from mini solar panels and embellished with tiny LED bulbs. After harvesting energy from that big incandescent ball of gas in the sky, the bulbs light up like a string of luminous pearls, turning, “energy into beauty.”
