Now, a solar bra as phone charger!










Ladies, now you may take your battle for the environment a little closer to your heart with a solar-powered bra that can generate enough electric energy to charge a mobile phone or an iPod! According to reports, Japanese lingerie maker Triumph International unveiled its environmentally friendly “Solar Power Bra” in Tokyo that includes a solar panel worn around the stomach. Triumph spokeswoman Yoshiko Masuda said that the panel requires light to generate electricity and the concept bra will not be in stores anytime soon, as “people usually can not go outside without wearing clothes over it” . Masuda added that the bra should not be washed or sunned on a rainy day to avoid damaging it.
