It is really an explosive news that A New York-based designer has invented a solar-powered bikini so wearers can charge their iPod or camera as they lie in the sun.
Named the iKini, the item of clothing is comprised of USB ports and photovoltaic panels sewn together with conductive thread, according to the Clean Energy Authority.
The iKini was designed by Andrew Schneider, 30, and is currently being sold tailor-made and custom-built for $200 (£125).  How can we believe? Do you think it a great discovery? Do you want to hit the beach with your ipod to have a try?
Andrew Schneider, a 30-year-old abandoned his original plan of a beer-cooling bikini when he couldn't rein in enough solar power. He then realized that he could generate enough power to charge his iPod. Owing to have this idea, he  sewed together 40 paper-thin photo-voltaic panels together with soft conductive thread to produce his iKini which comes complete with USB ports sewn into the fabric. Mr Schneider told the International Business Times that he came up with the idea during a brainstorming session at New York University.
The suit is a custom made bikini swimsuit retrofitted with 1″ x 4″ photovoltaic film strips sewn together in series with conductive thread. The cells terminate in a 5 volt regulator into a female USB connection. Don't worry guys! The male version of the Solar Bikini (coming soon) called the iDrink, features a greater surface area which equals more output voltage. This additional juice is used to power a 1.5 amp peltier junction which cools a single beer in a custom coozy. Double cool!
The iDrink solar swimware line is perfect for those who want to go the beach, listen to music, and enjoy a cold and deserved beverage, but who don't want to get wet! You've got tunes, you've got beer, you've got sun, and you've got eachother in swimwear. So you don't have to worry your ipod's battery storage. On the contrary, you can transfer your ipod stuffs to other devices easily. For example we can transfer music from ipod to ipod when we are enjoy music in the sun.
Surprisingly, the solar bikini doesn't hinder your swimming opportunities. You can still jump in for a dip to cool off-as long as you remember to unplug your devices and dry out the USB ports before you connect anything else. Because the bikini transmits its power directly to your electronics, no actual energy is stored. "[It's] totally safe," Schneider tells Daily Mail. "Five volts at under an amp is a charge you wouldn't even be able to feel.
