Urbanista’s Malibu wireless speaker charges using the power of the sun

Urbanista Malibu

Bluetooth speakers are often designed to be used outdoors, but few actively draw on the elements to give them a boost. Enter the Malibu, Urbanista's new portable speaker and the latest addition to the company's line-up of light-powered products, which the company boasts is the world's first solar-powered speaker using Exeger's Powerfoyle technology to give it some  juice.

Thanks to said Powerfoyle tech, the waterproof Malibu self-charges whenever you expose it to either indoor or outdoor light, meaning you can keep your music topped up wherever you are (although it’s best to avoid dark caves and spooky dungeons).
