Have you ever been out and about and your phone dies, or your Mp3 player stops pumping out music?  You either don’t have a charger with you or aren’t near a power outlet.  Well two designers, Hyun-Joong Kim and Kwang-Seok Jeong, have come up with a brilliant idea.  They designed a pair off sunglasses with dye solar cells that turn sun power into gadget power.  All you have to do is plug the electronics of your choice into the power jack on the back of the glasses and you’re good to go!  With the world becoming increasingly mobile, relying on electronics more and more, it is now more important than ever to keep them charged.  You can get chargers built into backpacks, cases, mats, etc.  But something like these glasses are very practical for your eyes and your gadgets.  Availability isn’t known yet, but as soon as I know, I’ll let you know.
