Captured inside the Sun and Moon Jars are a highly efficient solar cell, a rechargeable battery and low energy LED lamps.

When you start to feel a little low on energy you can turn to that terrific alkaloid, caffeine. Available from many sources like Bawls and, of course, that tried and true hot beverage, coffee. Reaching for your coffee cup to get an energy boost when you're tired is pretty much second nature. Well, now your gadgets can turn to a coffee cup of their own when they need an energy recharge.
The cost of most forms of energy has increased a lot recently and will likely only go up in the future. And not only the monetary cost but the cost to our environment needs to be considered. Thankfully, the energy emitted from the Sun is still free (until some scrooge genius figures out how to charge for it). The Freeloader Portable Solar Charger can help you tap into this free source of energy; you simply plug it in and point it towards the Sun.

This tends to make the hammock a little less portable than we'd like.
