Concept Solar Tree charges gadgets at beach

Lots of solar trees at the beah charging gadgets

This little invention is not out yet, but its a good idea. It will charge your gadgets outdoors while you are at the picnic, beach, campsite or outdoor concert. The solar stake goes into the soft ground or sand. It will be very handy. How many times have you gone somewhere and forgotten too charge up?

I wonder it will be effiecient and grabbing solar energy and feeding your gadgets. I know batteries are getting better and gadgets are using less energy but I don’t think it might work.
