This idea is a conceptual blend of the "
solar backpack" and the car. The solar backpack puts solar panels on a backpack, which allows the collected energy to power up an ipod or cellphone. My idea is to put such solar panels on the rooftop of a car, with a wire running into the car. It could do the same thing: power these mobile devices as well as rechargeable batteries.
Think of how much time our cars spend out there under the sun? Now the sun won't just fade our paint jobs; it will power our rechargeables....
It's possible that this idea is already out there. This just came to me as a result of accepting this objective. I don't have time to research whether or not it's actually been done, or what the cost of creating such solar paneled rooftops would be... The cells must be relatively cheap if the backpacks are selling in the $160-$220 range. In this case, we just need the cells and a wire...
