Solar-powered bra powers IpodGlows in the darkBy Nick Farrell: Monday, 29 September 2008, 9:02 AMPANT MAKER Triumph International Japan has lifted the kimono on a new bra which has a solar panel mounted around the waist area.Triumph says the bra can generate enough electric energy to power a mobile phone or an Ipod. We guess that means that you have to expose it on a sunny day to get it work properly.Apparently an electronic message board below the bright green bra's two cups lights up when the solar panel, which is about 15 x 21cm, is connected.It can’t be washed and will not work while there is cloud cover or when the sun s blocked by a bloke not particularly interested in powering your Ipod.Still, it pays to keep abreast of the latest technology fashions, although we think that the sort of people who most will want to wear something like this will be more worried about their man boobs.
