Solar Powered Bra (Why is Japan so Weird?)  E-mail
Written by Hank Green   
Wednesday, 14 May 2008

In an undoubted victory in the fight to make the world more sustainable, Japanese lingerie company, Triumph, has created an organic cotton, solar bra.

The solar panel powers an LED display board that can, I guess, advertise stuff?

OK, there's really nothing green about this, but I really can't pass up a good solar-powered undergarment story. We imagine that the bra will be useful mostly to people trying to sell technology with hot girls. Putting technology right there on the hot girl will give shy guys an excuse to look, increasing the chances that they'll buy whatever trade show item is actually on display.

...but...bras don't take up energy now?
So wouldn't using that be a waste either way?

Could be applied somewhere, like in the arctic or something for light but warmth generating clothes? I think it's pretty cool.

They have gone about it the wrong way. They need attach magnets and coils of wires to get any decent power from the motion of the bra.
To go along with this idea...

Suggestion: make solar powered panties to go along with the bras as a set, and market them to Victoria's Secret. I don't know who would buy them, but I could envision the TV commercials being excellent!
