Solar bra brings conservation closer to the heart
Wed May 14, 10:31 AM ET
Ladies, 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.
Being eco-friendly is now fashionable in Japan, and the "Solar Energy Bra" follows the company's other green-themed undergarments that include a bra that turns into a reusable shopping bag and one that featured metal chopsticks to promote the use of reusable chopsticks.
"It is very comfortable and I can really feel involved in eco-friendly efforts as well," model Yuko Ishida said.

UBarW, we think too much alike. I just finished reading about that bra before I got to Saunders and saw your post.
And an electric corset to go with it.
Kristin O'Friel, another NYU ITP student, invented the CO2RSET, a corset that tightens or loosens around your body depending on the amount of CO2 in the air around you. She says that she was influenced in part by this smoking jacket, another piece of clothing that reacts directly to the air that you breath into it. The corset is laced with wires attached to tiny motors. The motors respond to input from the corset's attached CO2 monitors— look closely— they stick out of the vest's floral decorations like thumbtacks.
Though the jacket currently only responds to CO2 levels, the O'Friel hopes to continue development so that it eventually also responds to air contaminants like Carbon Monoxide as well. The idea is that if you know that the air quality around you is sup-par, you'll leave. It's a great concept— our only objection is that right now, you have to wear the corset on the outside of your clothing. In the future maybe the invention will work under your clothing— and as a bra.

The only problem would be the differing voltages. Personally I'm a high voltage guy.
