Developed by Ahmad Jawarneh and Melanie Kalinian, the 'GoldEye Bar' provides emergency power support when there is no electricity in sight. The 'GoldEye Bar' features a [built-in solar panel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deepsolar-x20-solar-power-bank) that will suck up the power of the sun whenever it's given the chance. The powerful nature of the boost charger makes it great for smartphones and laptops, but it's also strong enough to help jumpstart a car, which is more than other devices can claim. The 'GoldEye Bar' charger is currently being funded as part of a [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-panel-origami-technology) campaign where early adopters can take advantage of early bird price points. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sustainable Products:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating more eco-friendly and energy-efficient products. - **Emergency Power Support:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing efficient and portable power solutions for emergency situations. - **Solar Charging:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in utilizing solar energy for charging various devices and applications. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Technology:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in integrating sustainable features into consumer electronics. - **Automotive:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing renewable energy-based solutions for vehicle power needs. - **Renewable Energy:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in advancing solar power technology for efficient and accessible charging solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hybrid Portable Battery Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charger-2.md) - [Solar-Ready Portable Power Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gosun-power-266.md) - [Solar-Powered eBike Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beambike.md) - [Camping-Ready Portable Batteries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobile-universe.md) - [Vehicle-Powering Battery Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oukitel-abearl-p5000.md) - [Solar-Powered Oral Care Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quip-solar-battery-charger.md) - [Compact Portable Power Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-power-station1.md) - [Commuter EV Charger Batteries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/go-power-bank.md) - [Origami Travel Solar Panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-panel-origami-technology.md)
