Designer creates solar-powered bikini
A great idea - but I'm fearful of the solar powered shorts to keep beer cold :o(
What solar powered invention do you think might be helpful ?

A New York-based designer has invented a solar-powered bikini so wearers can charge their iPod or camera as they lie in the sun.
Designer Andrew Schneider spends 80 hours custom-making each by hand (for $500 and up). He is also developing the iDrink — board shorts for men that will be able to chill a beer — for release this summer.
The added functionality of the bikini doesn’t impair the function normally afforded by a bathing suit — the ability to swim. You just need to unplug all your devices before jumping in and dry off fully before re-connecting them.
The designer now plans to go back to his original idea by developing shorts for men that can keep drinks cold.
"We're currently building and testing prototypes for the iDrink. It's just going to have to have more surface area so we're using men's board shorts," he explained.

Ok, brit. Both then!
Picture yourself on the beach wearing the solar powered iDrink shorts with lots of ladies in bikinis around you..
I'm sure you'll be generating a lot fo power through your thoughts ;o)
I'd prefer a neural-generator, so that the user has to think in order to get power.
I'd prefer a motion-generator so that the user has to bounce around in order to get power :-)
You could chill the beer and keep the family jewels cool at the same time :o)
Don't think it will catch on, buying a cooler is cheaper and easier option for the beer.
For many, just wearing the bikini, generates power and makes men go weak at the knees ... ;o(
The beer chilling shorts seem quite dangerous.. what if they over chill ?
of power you need wearing bikini?
wana to be a superwoman or batwoman
Just imagine - It's much more fun :o)
