Banging Bags

A Solar-Powered Handbag - Now That’s One I Don’t Have

by Bridget Wright on February 12th, 2008

When I saw this solar-powered handbag, I thought, “hmmm, now that’s one my friends don’t have!” But then again, I don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing.

How does the bag work? That’s what I wondered. Look at this:

“uses a solar cell on the outside of the bag to suck up energy from the sun. Power is stored in an internal battery which then supplies juice to the lining of the bag, made from an electroluminescent material. The zipper of the bag acts as the switch, turning on the illumination when it’s opened, and then off either when the zipper is closed or after 15 seconds.”

Interesting, huh? Check out the press release here.
