The Voltaic Generator: Bag to the future

Picture2.pngHundreds of years from now, when history has long forgotten us, people will dig up our artifacts and wonder.

Wonder what all those “Rehab is the new black” T-shirts, “Cheney’s Got a Gun” song lyrics, and Y2K warning memos were about.

Mostly, though, they will marvel at our laptop bags.

Alright, so maybe not, but while most solar-powered gadgets aren’t much bigger than your hand, Voltaic has actually given the world a practical sunlight-harnessing product with its latest computer bag. The Voltiac Generator is the first computer bag that can fully charge your laptop, the “Generator” pumps 14.7 watts into your prized computer; perfect for those of you who, like me, bring their laptops with them on everywhere and on every single adventure (it's perfect when you're in the middle of nowhere).

Who knows? They may just stand the test of time after all. $599.
