If wearing your solar charger on your back isn't for you, try the Solar Technology Freeloader. Crave knows all about freeloading, and we certainly know a bargain when we spot one. For a paltry £23 you can charge most MP3 players and phones simply by plugging into this sun-worshipper.

A green future is probably going to involve lots of different technologies. Solar is probably going to work best on a large scale to get economies of scale. I like the idea of more wind-up though, by winding things up we get a true feel for how much energy they need.

This is a good idea in theory... unfortunately the execution is hopeless. Having tried this on the equator with buckets of sun... it was so hit and miss... the best day increased the charge on a mobile phone by 6%...
