My Gap - refinement week 2

An artifact constructed from detachable modules that allows to recharge electronic devices in a stylish appearance, replenishes it’s power source on its own, is secure and can be located remotely.

My Gap

A nice electronics bag with solar panels to charge whatever you put into it.

I wish my bag charged my phone, tablet, camera, headphones, watch…

A purse/murse/rucksack/bag that looks great, protects it's contents against bumps and falls and has an internal battery and solar panels so all my devices stay charged when they're inside.

I imagine it as a single strap bag, inspired by designs like the one above but big enough to hold a small notebook or an iPad. A solar panel in the closing flap and a fairly large battery integrated into a side or the back, strong enough to charge multiple devices.

Why this gap meets the course project criteria

Often when I travel or just work outside I encounter an empty battery. It affects how I use my devices, so this gap is a regular frustration for me. A bag that incorporates a solar panel and a battery to charge devices can close this gap. Of course I share this problem with many people and given my skills I believe I can build a prototype within eight weeks, because I know electronics well enough to build this myself and I learned to sew leather.
