Seems like an awful lot of hassle for some tunes.

I'd rather just enjoy the sound of the waves.

I enjoy bacon.

I think that's one of those new-fangled solar-powered bling-bling detection systems.

If memory serves me correctly that will not work.
Reason?
An Astropower (GE) single crystal 120 watt panel (16.9 volts, 7.1 amps) has 10.5 square feet of surface area (11.42 watts per square foot), and weighs 26.1 pounds.

A boom box would use about that much or more wattage. That panel isn't big enough to power a couple of flash light bulbs.

Plus, at lower voltages, like what a boom box runs at, you have to up the amperage to get the same amount of wattage (VxA=W) Most solar panels up the voltage to as much as 600 volts because as everyone knows if you up the ampers you decrease the effenciency of the wire, thus is the reasoning of upping the volts and cutting the amps; so at 120W, the amperage would be .2 amps. Electrical circuitry in most cases has to be run at about %2-%5 (or less) of its designed capacity. You can't just put "electricity" to something and have it magically work. Its all been calculated.

By calculation around 6.5 give or take.

Perhaps.. but what you DON'T see in the picture is that the panel, indeed, unfolds to 4 times it's size. This would give you the 10 square feet you are looking for, however, it also has two forms of backup power.

Hydroelectric power so that reserve power can be built by the waves (unseen in the picture) and kinetic power, which is being built up by the act of walking with the radio.

So.. your theory is bunk.

Or I'm a liar.

Same thing, really.
