You can call it cool, weird or whatever you like, but there is certainly something for which Erik Schiegg from Switzerland deserves a round of applause. The guy attached a solar panel, efficient enough of charging a mobile phone, to a dog's weather protection suit. 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.
