Technology: The Solar Powered Window Socket by Kyuho Song & Boa Oh for Yanko Design

I stumbled upon this and thought it was definitely worth sharing. Not that I'm against cleaner and reusable energy, I just hate how impractical a lot of the cleaner tech can be sometimes. This, however, is very practical, is a great idea, and even has a bit of a stylish flare to it. Sorta the same way the Ipod's simplicity gives it, it's flare. I wouldn't be surprised if we started seeing a lot of similar tech in near future. In fact, I'm looking into getting on of these myself. "Goodbye car charger, Hello anywhere charger." ~alx.O   

 

The Window Socket offers a neat way to harness solar energy and use it as a plug socket. So far we have seen solutions that act as a solar battery backup, but none as a direct plug-in. Simple in design, the plug just attaches to any window and does its job intuitively.
