Solar Hat


If you are one of those people who thrive in the sun, someone who loves the feel of the sun and feels happier on sunny days, then you should also be aware of the dangers of the sun. We have all hear about the necessity of wearing sunscreen while you are out in the sunshine, to avoid skin damage; but there is another problem that is just as serious and much more immediate, sun stroke.

When you are out in the sun, it is important to wear a hat if possible, because the top of the head can regulate your temperature. It is important that newly born babies have a cap to maintain their temperature, because they cannot maintain their body heat. And it is important that if the body is too warm, the top of the head be kept cool so that a heat stroke can be avoided. That is why it is advised that a hat be worn while gardening or working in the sun, and most of those hats have mesh or holes which can allow the heat to escape.

And now there is a great product that can allow you to harness the power of the sun to actually keep you cool! Like most of us, you probably thought that solar energy was only used for large-scale items, such as heating and cooling buildings. While it is used for that purpose, it can also be used for smaller items, more personal items.

And now, you can purchase a Solar Hat! This amazing product has a small solar panel on top, an adjustable band, and a small fan built into the bill of the cap. The solar panel powers the fan which when turned on blows on you to keep you cool. Be sure to order more that one, because you will want a spare!

Use the power of the sun to keep cool! And you thought solar energy was just for buildings? Solar energy powers the fan in this adjustable cap, keeping you cool as a cucumber. While your friends are wilting you'll be cool and comfortable. Great when you are gardening, golfing, fishing or just hanging out.

Origami Cell Phone

Trying to puzzle this phone back into its original shape we wondered what the advantage was of this weird phone. Having a phone in seperate shapes might seem special, we think it isn't. The phone can easily damage or refuse to slide in back to its original shape.
