Bikini babes power own iPod

 
April 23, 2007
 
 
 
 
 

 
A SOLAR-powered BIKINI that can charge an iPod has been invented.

 

Designer Andrew Schneider covered a black two-piece with 40 flexible 4in x 1in panels. The connector is on the hip.

He said: “It can be worn in water but you’d have to let it dry completely before you plugged your iPod in.”

He is now working on male beach shorts that provide enough energy to charge a beer cooler.

The New York University student hit on the ideas during a sustainable practices course.

He said: “Alternative power is an important concern.”

I’ll become interested when someone develops male swim trunks that charge a two-piece bikini that charges a beer cooler.

I may consider the solar panel installation business after all.

Ya know, I think I would be a little leery of wearing that type of thing.
It could be a "shocking" experience.
