Abstract

A sunscreen used for generating solar electric power.

Background of Invention

If your dermatologists jumped off of a bridge, would you jump, too?  For years, the medical establishment has been hounding us to use more sunscreen. The principles of sunscreen are simple and seemingly innocuous: a lotion containing small reflective particles is applied to the skin, where it deflects the sun’s harmful rays away from the body. Unfortunately, sunscreen presents some serious health risks of its own. For instance, those rays that are reflected away from your body present serious health risks to bystanders’ bodies by way of secondhand UV Exposure. Also, by reflecting the sun’s hot rays back upward into the earth’s atmosphere, your skin surface contributes to global warming and the slow demise of humankind.  Fortunately, the present invention employs a modified sunscreen that safely absorbs these hazardous rays and converts them into clean electricity. By replacing the sunscreen’s reflective particles with nano solar panels, the sun’s rays are safely captured and converted to electricity. And by substituting the sunscreen’s lotion with electrically conductive fluid, the electrical charge is free to travel over the skin’s surface until needed. AC/DC patches affixed to the body draw the electricity out of the SolarScreen, where the current can be used to operate local electronic devices and appliances. Insulated boots and gloves, and a rubberized beach towel ensure safe application of this product.
