Going off-grid, traveling light, but still need to shed a little light on the subject? This little portable solar lantern created by designer Jesper Jonsson may be a harbinger of things to come.
Small enough to fit in your pocket when collapsed – large enough to provide a little light in your pup tent when expanded – this prototype captures energy with its solar panel during the day and stores it in its built-in battery for use at night. via: the design blog

I always wondered when something like this was going to go mainstream. There are numerous applications for this type of eco-friendly gadget when the sun powers a mini-battery. Solar powered fans, flashlights, water-fountains, almost anything used in a metropolitan park.
The product is sustainable, but will the cost be too?
