Man Charges Phone Using a Solar Panel and His Dog

andylim writes "It's really annoying when your phone runs out of battery power but what if you could charge it up using your dog? According to recombu.com, a Swiss man called Erik Schiegg has created a "solar dog" charger that combines a solar panel with a dog for the ultimate portable charging solution. Shiegg explains that the charger works in cloudy weather conditions and it's at a better angle to the sun than if he was wearing it, 'My Android phone is charged in no time.' He also adds that it would be interesting if farmers used this idea and put solar panels on their animals."

Come charging time. I would love to see a dog running around ringing with the owner chasing :)

Knock knock Neo! The matrix has you

Will you sell the space on your back when there will be no free space on animals? Looks like quite old idea, Matrix has better one...
