Solar Powered Tie for green ubergeeks
August 22, 2008
So I’ve missed checking out solar gadgets but looks like I’m gonna have my solar fix soon with this Solar Powered Necktie. Okay, I don’t have plans of donning one but the idea is just smart and useful.
Solar bags can be bulky and most of the time, look too geeky but a Solar Powered Tie is a more discreet way of storing energy to power your mobile phone.
The Solar Powered Necktie is a project of Iowa State University’s researchers. Apparently, they used solar cells and then attached them using a “liquid stitch” method according to LoopyGadgets.
No report if this eco tie will be go mainstream anytime soon.
