signal produces a 'solar powered snowboard'

 

 

california-based signal snowboards and dave lee have teamed up with powerfilm solar to create a solar-powered snowboard.
developed in signal's factory, the flexible solar panels are adhered to the top sheet and then wired into a converter mounted
between the bindings.

 

to demonstrate the technology and functionality, signal travels to mammoth mountain in northern california with snowboarder
tyler flanagan to see if the product lives up to the expectations of simultaneously charging batteries, cameras, and phones after
a day of riding. although its just a concept, it's interesting to see the how a wide variety of different solar applications and
approaches are being used today.
