Sun powers mobile phones
News brought to you by Skint Tariffs, providers of price comparison for cheap international calls. As people become more dependent on their mobile phones, their battery life is becoming a growing frustration, though the sun's power could be tapped to ensure round-the-clock power for the vital device.
Ansmann is the most recent company to create a solar powered mobile phone and mp3 charger.
Solar chargers take the energy directly from the sun and turn it into electricity that can be used to power a mobile phone, topping up its battery.
The result is a phone that is less reliant on power points and can be taken anywhere.
A mobile phone customer calling the UK from abroad on their handset need not take an adapter overseas, needing only the sun's light.
This may seem particularly useful to Britons escaping the rainy British summer for the sunnier climes of the continent, Egypt or Africa.
It could also mean that wherever they are, Brits could make cheap international calls using skinttariffs.com access codes, without fear of being cut off mid-conversation.
