Light up
« on: September 26, 2005, 01:49:48 PM »
This caught my eye,

A solar-powered handbag designed by a student from Brunel University promises to make finding keys and other items at the bottom of a bag easier.
The handbag, dubbed Sun Trap, uses a solar cell attached to the outside of the bag to trap energy from sunlight.
The energy is stored in an internal battery which lights up the lining.
The lining is made from an electroluminescent material similar to that found in mobile phones and is lit up by the bag's zip which acts as a switch.
The bag goes dark when the zip is closed or after 15 seconds if it is accidentally left open.


Doh, why didn`t I think of that?
