I think you'll probably be better off with a solar panel on your pack/kayak. Look at those fans you put on wood stoves, they cost hundreds dollars and barely make enough power to turn a really low power fan.

Wenger has some new solar panels that make more sense to me.  I may try one out this year on my boat- they charge a battery pack that is then used to charge whatever you like, and it's potent enough (supposedly) to charge a laptop.

Do they come in pink to match your boat?

When I said "new" I meant it was a new product from Wenger, not a new product on the market.  I know they have been around for a while but this is the first time Wenger has offered them and I have faith in the Wenger brand so this is probably the first one I'll get.

Interesting Chrissy  :salute:

As above I wonder about the output and whether a solar panel would be more use (maybe charging a capacitor instead of a battery  :think: :-\  )

Here's another one, you could rest your laptop on the top while it was charging  :D

That's a little outside my skill set
But then again, that's never stopped me in the past  :D
