| Magi-Tech Creates Solar Power Tents Magi-Tech announced yesterday that they have a prototype tent using solar power. The company said it will be run 100% on solar power and when there is no light, will be run by two 9v batteries. People that love the outdoors will find this extremely useful. This may seem extremely odd. How on earth is something like this going to help? Well, here are the features. You just put up a tent as you normally would. After it is set, when you look inside the tent, there should be 3 little holes inside the tent. In the instruction manual, it shows what goes in the holes, such as the fan goes into hole 1. After all the items are attached inside of the tent, simply plug the solar power device to the small hole outside of the tent. Magi-Tech has been looking for ways to put solar power to good use, and it looks like this is their first, after 2 years of development. Imagine camping outside and just simply plugging in a solar power device and you get fans, a light, and two electric outlets to work. “Some people may think this is completely useless, but we at Magi-Tech believe it is going to be a very useful product.” says Mark Henry, vice president of technology. “Now we just need to show people how this thing works, and after the word is out, we will put it on the market. In the long run, you will save money also since it is ran by the sun itself.” The solar power device is simpler than you think, it weighs less than 4 pounds and 3 fans, 3 lights, and 2 electric outlets come with the purchase of the solar power tent. It is also as powerful as two 9v batteries. We are expected to see around 5 million units just in the US by 2008. |
