Solar Bonsai Tree USB Charger (Concept)
How does a Solar Bonsai Tree USB charger work for you as a concept? Well at this stage that is all that it is, so you can’t buy one as yet and the fundamentals such as how much power it produces hasn’t been disclosed.
As somebody who keeps bonsai trees as a hobby, the potential to have an artificial solar bonsai tree sat on my desk charging my USB devices is an idea that really appeals to me!
As you can see from the picture, the tree would come in many different ‘branch’ pieces which would presumably allow for a certain amount of customisation and make your tree have it’s own style in comparison to those of your friends.
The 54 solar cells would then sit at the ends of the branches as its leaves, much like a real tree they would also be generating energy!
I’m guessing one reason why we’re hearing about this concept is to see if there would be a market for a product like this, obviously depending on price, I don’t know about you but I’d love to have the chance of putting together my very own solar bonsai tree USB charger!
What do you think to this solar bonsai tree USB charger as a concept? How much would you be willing to pay for a gadget such as this?

This is absolutely beautiful.
Practical hardware doesnt have to be bland and boring. Imagine a larger scale version of this in your garden powering your house?

Very clever use of solar energy. I hope it will be capable to produce enough electricity to charge a mobile.
