Practical Solar Power for Travelers?

Posted by Cliff on from the roll-up-solar-arrays dept.

kalido asks: "When travelling with gadgets it can be a pain to keep the power flowing, especially in remote locations. Are there any practical methods to recharge batteries and devices when on the go? A bit of googling turns up the PowerFilm, PowerFlex and SolarRoll flexible solar panels. But I haven't seen any reviews anywhere. Have any of you used these or similar devices and how easy is it to use if attached to a pack, bike, jacket, etc.?"

    "Hi, I'm going to Burning Man next week to prance around the desert in my fur coat high on Ecstasy. However, I don't feel like I'm doing enough for the world by engaging in these activities, is there a way for me to charge my iPod without buying gas from The Man?"
