# Solar-Powered Toothbrushes The Soladey J3-X Keeps Your Mouth Clean and Green By Michael Hines | Published 2010-08-30 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soladey-j3-x References: [uniquedaily](http://www.uniquedaily.com/solar-powered-toothbrush/) & [physorg](http://www.physorg.com/news201497680.html) I guarantee that the Soladey J3-X will be the most amazing toothbrush you read about all day. This toothbrush uses solar power to kill bacteria and germs in your mouth. Toothpaste, take a hike. The Soladey J3-X was invented by Dr. Gerry Uswak and Kunio Komiyama. The toothbrush uses solar power from the base of the brush to transmit electrons to the top of the brush. The electrons react with the acid in the mouth, killing off plaque and bacteria in the process. The Soladey J3-X doesn’t need much sunlight, so it can operate just about anywhere. The future of oral hygiene just got sunnier. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Solar-powered Toothbrushes:** Using solar power to kill bacteria and germs in your mouth offers disruptive innovation opportunities in oral hygiene. - **Transmission of Electrons:** Transmitting electrons from the base of the brush to the top to react with acid in the mouth presents disruptive innovation opportunities in dental care. - **Portable Solar-powered Devices:** The development of solar-powered toothbrushes that don't require much sunlight opens up disruptive innovation opportunities in the field of portable solar-powered devices. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Oral Hygiene:** The solar-powered toothbrushes could revolutionize the oral hygiene industry with a cleaner and greener alternative for oral care. - **Dental Care:** The transmission of electrons to react with acid in the mouth presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the dental care industry, potentially improving the efficiency of plaque and bacteria removal. - **Renewable Energy:** The development of portable solar-powered devices, such as the Soladey J3-X, contributes to the growth of the renewable energy industry by utilizing solar power for everyday products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Solar-Powered Oral Care Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quip-solar-battery-charger.md) - [Self-Sanitizing Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultim8-smartbrush-system.md) - [UV-Sanitizing Electric Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/umma-diamond-sonic-toothbrush.md) - [Reliable Self-Sanitizing Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hahatec-self-sanitizing-toothbrush.md) - [Lasting AI-Powered E-Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aipowered-etoothbrush.md) - [Automatic 360 Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonic-brush-v5.md) - [Light Therapy Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-therapy-toothbrush.md) - [Red Light Therapy Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-light-toothbrush.md) - [Sustainable Electric Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bamtoo-koa-v2.md)
