Solar-powered bra: Let the ladies charge your cell phone!

Next time your cell phone dies or your iPod runs out of juice, don't reach for the nearest electrical outlet -- reach for your chest! Thanks to a new invention by Triumph International (the lingerie-makers that brought you the chopstick bra), you can now power your gadgets with your boobs (kind of).
The new Solar Power Bra comes complete with an honest-to-goodness photovoltaic panel attached to the front. Sunlight is harnessed by that panel, which it then converts into energy that you access via a small outlet on the side.
Unfortunately you won't be able to purchase this eco-minded undergarment anytime soon, as it's not exactly practical. For starters, the bra is rendered useless if you wear it under clothing -- meaning you'd be giving your friends and neighbors quite an eyeful every time you needed a charge. Plus you can't wash it, which is a little gross.
That said, it certainly opens the door to many possibilities for the future. Fingers crossed, one day your lingerie might save the planet.
