We have reported on a lot solar-powered chargers here on Coolest-Gadgets, most recently the Eton Mobius.
A company/distributor known as Quirky, which puts devices from
independent inventors to the spotlight, has the Ray on their catalog.
The Ray is different than most chargers as it has a very powerful
suction cup to hold it to where the sun shines the most: on glass. It
also has a tilting kickstand that supports multiple positions to capture
the sun.
The Ray has a compact battery that can store enough energy to fully
charge a cellular phone. It has a USB port for easy charging, and these
USB cords can be tucked for storage into the kickstand when folded
closed.
I will have to admit what sold me on
this Ray is how it can cling to an airplane window. Considering that
you will have your cellular phone in airplane mode anyway, you might as
well take advantage of the downtime and charge it. Hopefully, the
passengers next to you won’t think it is rude if you block their view.
You should be able to get the Ray on the Quriky site for about $39.99. While you are there, check out some other items.
