One of the main things that concerns me when packing for a trip (whether it’s to the beach or to visit my hometown) is how I am going to lug around all my gadgets and their respective chargers. Most of the time, I just have a separate bag where I put all the cords and toys together so I know exactly where to pull them out of when the time arises.
Here’s a neat little invention that can solve those issues – the Neuber Energy Sun Bag. It’s basically a carrying bag and charger all in one. It has some Konarka Power Plastic solar panels on the outside, ensuring that you will have enough juice even if you go to the middle of nowhere with no electric power. All you need is the power of the sun and you’re good to go!
Obviously, you are putting a premium on convenience here. The bag weighs in at only 500 g – roundabouts a pound – with all the stuff necessary to make it function included. That will, of course, be heavier with your netbook, cell phones, mp3 players, etc. in it. The picture shown above is a basic model, but there are 36 other colors that you can choose from, so throw your fashion worries out the window!
More than the convenience, however, the idea of using solar power is definitely a positive one – you can do your bit for Mother Earth. The price, though, is not that nice as it is supposed to go for 99euros (a little over $100). If you travel a lot, I say that it’s worth it, don’t you think?

1not bad at all. i’m sure you have to pay for all the adaptors to fit all the different kinds of devices you have though. that’s the expensive part.

3A really great idea but I can imagine it gets heavy after putting all your stuff in. $100 isn’t that bad of a price, I expected worse.
