Solar Bra This Time
Is that a bra?
Well, I guess so. It does look like a bra. And the company behind this creation says that this is not an ordinary brassiere. It is a solar powered piece of clothing.
I know it does sound quite ridiculous but see, the company behind this solar powered bra, Triumph International Japan, Ltd., has declared that the power that the clothing could create would be just about right to juice up your mobile phone or your iPod.
However, it is also important to note that to be able to get power from this solar powered bra, you would also have to make sure that you are wearing only the bra. If you do put a shirt or any piece of clothing on top of it, the solar cells would not be able to soak in the sun’s rays to convert it into usable energy.
I am not sure though who would like to walk around town wearing a bra like this.

The Bra idea seems to be a no-go due to conventional sensitivities. There must be an alternative to a bra … Why a bra?
What about a solar powered hat or a backpack?

-one of those unmarketable inventions. But I guess it was made not for selling but for making a buzz. Probably for brand awareness.
