Enough with this silliness. Everyone knows that a Flux Capacitor running in tandem and then split out at the Do-Wang connector will work just fine.

dont forget the 3v Doo-Hickey connector! its vital for the success of that wassis-name.
It's better than Microsoft's Hydropower Module. From what I've read about it, it can get quite messy, plus the propellers are prone to locking up.
You serious?
I kinda was serious, i have no idea on the technology involved but imagine having a mini turbine attached to your ipad and it spinning enough to generate enought power to charge, that would pretty cool and pretty convenient. Its probably not technologically feasable is it ?
Not really, because I don't have access to Tony Stark type technology lol
Hmm that'd be perfect, what's the largest object you would take on the hike?
13"x13" would fit in my backpack well. Weight is the most important factor though.
I'll see what I can do. The first one I make is just to prove the concept though however.
because postage would be so high to get it over to aust, i would rather hunt for the parts myself. provided there were instructions

No problem. It'll be a little while before I get there lol. I want to use the highest watt solar cells in the smallest size (6x6 inches is 4 watts) without having to buy over 50 in bulk.
yea man no probs just chime in when you have something
will be interesting to see. any idea on pricing yet>?You wouldn't get near enough power to charge it or keep it on for that matter if you did that. Solar cells are still lacking in technology.
