New York-based designer Andrew Schneider has manufactured solar bikini battery which can produce five volts.

The swimsuit costing 120 pounds can charge everything from an MP3 player to a camera, while you are enjoying suntan outdoors.

It takes up to 80 hours to make one bikini suit that contains 40 thin flexible, photo-voltaic panels and conductive thread, the Daily Mail has reported.

Schneider did not exactly say how this bikini works, but he said, “You wouldn’t even feel the charge. You just need to be dry before hooking up.”

He is hoping to create a pair of trunks that can cool beer inspired by this item.
