Jar O’ Sun
Date: October 29, 2008 | Category: Home Furnishings, Lifestyle, Tech
Need a night time pick me up? Try a Sun Jar. No, it’s not a new cocktail, sorry.
Made with a traditional Mason jar packed with a highly efficient solar cell, a rechargeable battery and low-energy LED bulbs, when the jar is placed in sunlight the solar cell creates an electrical current that charges the battery over a few hours. This energy is then used at night to light the jar, which glows in either blue or yellow. The Sun Jar makes a great nightlight, or can be used outdoors in the garden, or as part of a camping or emergency kit. Better yet, tell trick-or-treaters that there is ghost jelly in the jar.
