Recently I've been seeing this photo all over the internet and personal blogs, so I decided to investigate what this product is all about. Aptly named 'Window Socket', this environmentally friendly plug is the newest invention in solar power charging by Yanko Design. Designed to be portable and aesthetically pleasing, this device can be placed on any surface with access to sunlight- from the car to the office.
The design itself is fairly simple. Made out of plastic materials and solar panels, this device uses energy from the sun to charge a device, converting the solar power into electric energy through a converter. Supplying energy from a 1000mAh battery, this power would be enough to charge a mobile device or lower voltage devices, but not necessarily your microwave or vacuum. Overall, I think this is a device that's very useful and portable for the average adult, and I'd be curious to see if this e-charger will be the sockets of the future.
