CONCEIVING AND ENGINEERING SYSTEMS

Idea
Create a case that is a solar charger and a carrying case for cell phones.

Problem Statement
Cell phones tend to loose charge over there lifespan thus needing to charge more often so that they are available to use when needed.

Setting System Goals and Requirements

 * 1) solar charger
 * 2) small thin battery
 * 3) case/phone wallet

Sketch of Idea

Next Steps

 * 1) Use CircuitLab to draw solar charger circuit
 * 2) Investigate usage of Lithium Battery (does it get hot?)
 * 3) Use SketchUp to sketch case
 * 4) Start a material list and cost
