cause that'd totally work at night to recharge USB powered items :)

wouldnt that be like 0 = 0?
long as your battery was full when you plugged something like that in, then you'd (technically) never run out of power
figure if ur a little geeky and want a cheap charger for the summer
whynot make one of these chargers now and be prepared for the future
THE FUTURE IS NOOOOWWWWW :) lol
that breathing recharger is pretty cool too
