An attempt to combine the incompatible - the concept of "converting" the energy of sunglasses (

"Collected" energy will be supplied on the rim to the port, from which, by cable, is already directed to a particular portable device.
Of course, the concept is just a beautiful (albeit not thought out from a technical point of view) idea and a pair of well-executed “sketches”. Prior to the implementation of such an idea, the technology is not mature enough. But someday ...
