Parasolar, a solar parasol, is the beach umbrella of the future. What with all this “global warming” stuff going on, mankind is pretty much screwed. You’ll have to do your part, like harnessing solar power into umbrellas. Use the Parasolar during sunny days and it will capture solar energy to recharge your gadgets and gear.

Equipped with 12-volt output and two USB ports, the Parasolar can absorb enough energy to power a slew of human needs and it comes in a sleek case that just screams, “I’m thinking about the environment.”  This is exactly the kind of concept we need an abundance of to keep Al Gore happy.

Think about the masses of AA batteries you go through every year. How many of them could have been reused with an easier method of recharging? Even though we already have plenty of gadgets we charge from our computer, USBCELL allows us to save some money too.

The USBCELL batteries charge right from a USB port on your computer, and are fully powered to provide 5 hours of constant battery usage. Then you just recharge them again. This helpful gadget would also reduce the amount of batteries in our landfills, which is just an environmental hazard waiting to happen. — Andrew Dobrow
