It's hard to power your gadgets when you're at the beach or by the pool, which is one of the many reasons this solar powered bikini designed by Andrew Schneider is a fantastic concept.

The solar powered bikini is part of Scheider's iDrink line and powers electrical devices with the USB cable attached to the garment.

It's not ready to be launched yet and to be honest the design probably could do with a little tweaking from an aesthetic point of view as it still looks very sci-fi. But, it's good to see an inventor take advantage of the public's love for sunbathing and turn it into valuable energy.
