Solar Power Blog

A couple of really fun items to tell you about today. The first is a fun gift for kids. The clever monkey uses solar power to climb his rope. Great idea for teaching kids about solar power and solar chargers. The second is the Shake Torch. It does what it says on the tin - just shake it - no batteries required! This uses motion to generate power to create light. It’s not a solar charger, you don’t even need sunlight for this one!
