Joe Hynek27, a doctoral student in mechanical engineering at Iowa State University has designed a solar handbag that can charge small electronic devices like cell phones.
The black, rectangular purse is covered with laminated solar panels, which resemble a very thin camera film separated by white lines. The bag has clear plastic handles.
The bag can charge any small device that uses aUSB port, including cell phones, personal digital assistants, iPods, global positioning devices, voice recorders and small cameras.
There's extra padding in the purse for protection and a zipper for security.
Hynek has also applied the technology on a hat.
He eventually plans to retail the purse to environmentally conscious consumers at around $300.
