Solarmonkey and UVmonkey: Best friends forever

Damian Koh | Jul 16, 2008

If you've ever wondered how fast your skin cells are being roasted while sunbathing in the open, here's the perfect gadget for you. The chemical compound in the UVmonkey changes color to reflect the ultraviolet intensity of the sun. As it turns darker, that's your cue to slap on more sunblock lotion and bring out the Solarmonkey. The latter is a portable solar charger for your mobile phone and iPod. Although the UVmonkey isn't something you would associate with being professional, it does have one redeeming quality. It lets you know the best time to juice up your solar charger. Both primates are available online at Powertraveller.
