Shoulder-Bag's Solar Panel Recharges Cellphones On The Go
Until technologists come up with longer life batteries, a Swiss startup that gave itself a trendy Chinese name, Dauchu Go (the Swiss daily Tages Anzeiger says it means "everwhere") has a chance with its synthetic shoulder-bags that come with a built in recharging unit driven by solar power. It can be used for recharging hand-held devices, including brand-name mobilephones and MP3 players, the company website says.
We found a report in the Tages Anzeiger about Dauchu Go that says the idea came from a couple of 20-year old university students. They source the bags from East Asia and assemble them in Staefa, near Zurich.
The flexible solar panels are removable (image left) and are sourced from Flexcell, another Swiss startup that recently received a strategic investment from Germany's Q-Cells, a solar cell manufacturer.
