SOL8 Solar Briefcase

Juniper Foo | May 05, 2006

This ought to literally warm the cockles of every tech geek's heart. Personally, the SOL8 Solar Generator Briefcase not only lacks aesthetic appeal, we can't for the life of us imagine why any road warrior would want to lug around a 4.4kg suitcase. And that's without packing a notebook and peripherals yet. Still, if it's to impress your clients, all you have to do is whip out the SOL8 and watch those jaws drop in amazement. It's not clear how long the panels need to soak in the sun's rays, but Velleman claims this power brick's good enough to charge laptops, electric hand tools, GPS systems and--we kid you not--caravans, yachts, and DC refrigerators.
