Solar powered Bicycle Helmet

20071112_solarhelmet.jpg

Caleb John Clark, an ikon in the area of bicycle design, created an Solar powered Bicycle Helmet with safety lights integrated. The solar-powered Bicycle Helmet uses a flexible solar panel, which uses the captured solar energy to charge batteries which in turn give the power to LED lamps.

All details can be found on www.instructables.com, THE site to look for amazing do-it-yourself projects. A visual introduction can be found here: solar-powered Bicycle Helmet

Exemplary idea! As soon as Siemens Gigaset offers a solar-powered phone I will let you know, until then check the ECO DECT phones...

Maybe you could strap an iPod into that helmet. Anyhoo...brilliant idea.

Hi Andrew,
yes an iPod would be of more use than a Gigaset phone...;)
