Solar Dog Charges Your Mobile Phone

What an ingenious method to utilize solar power.

Erik Schiegg from Switzerland deserves a round of applause, for thinking out of the box. He attached a solar panel to his dog’s weather protection suit, and managed to tap enough solar power to charge his mobile phone.

The prototype “solar dog” charger works in cloudy weather conditions and it’s at a better angle to the sun than if he was wearing it, says Shiegg. He further says…

My Android phone is charged in no time… The dog feels good and I’m feeling good and planet mud is turned a little bit more into planet earth. But this idea would be interesting for farmers around the world, letting their animals collect electricity, too. Without the cost and waste for installation and the ground.
