Solar Power Bra: Would You Wear It?

adies, take your battle for the environment a little closer to your heart with a solar-powered bra that can generate enough electric energy to charge a mobile phone or an iPod.

Lingerie maker Triumph International Japan Ltd unveiled its environmentally friendly, and green colored, "Solar Power Bra" on Wednesday in Tokyo which features a solar panel worn around the stomach.

The panel requires light to generate electricity and the concept bra will not be in stores anytime soon, said Triumph spokeswoman Yoshiko Masuda, as "people usually can not go outside without wearing clothes over it."

But it does send the message of how lingerie could possibly save the planet, Masuda said, adding that the bra should not be washed or sunned on a rainy day to avoid damaging it.

They should take this idea and stick it where the sun don't shine; oh, wait, they already have.

Just out of curiosity ...

A solar-powered *brassiere*?!?

Not a solar-powered shirt or blouse. Not a hat. Not any article of clothing that is traditionally worn -- oh, I don't know -- OUTSIDE the clothing?!?

But a bra.

What's wrong with this picture ...?

"t does send the message of how lingerie could possibly save the planet,'

Oh yeah sure.

Because the planet is in a crisis from people charging their iPods.

Please. These bras probably requires more energy to produce, than they'll ever return. They are great at generating something though:

Does it still work after it's flung into the corner of the bedroom?

No I wouldn't, but I'm a guy

Then we'll hear the bra ladies will sue the company/gov or somebody because the thing did damage to the breasts. No thanks
