SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE BACKPACK

Flexible solar cell. This solar cell is made of graphene. Graphene is made of a single layer of carbon atoms that are bonded together in a repeating pattern of hexagons. It is a 2 dimensional material with amazing characteristics, which grant it the title “wonder material”. It is extremely strong and almost entirely transparent and also astonishingly conductive and flexible. (http://www.graphene-info.com/graphene-solar-panels)

OLED TV. An OLED display works without a backlight; thus, it can display deep black levels and can be thinner and lighter than a liquid crystal display (LCD). (Wikipedia)

Built-in hydration pack bladder. A hydration pack is a type of hydration system built as a backpack or waist pack containing a reservoir or "bladder" commonly made of rubber or flexible plastic. The reservoir contains a capped mouth for filling with liquid and a hose that allows the wearer to drink hands-free. (Wikipedia)

Pull-out sleeping mat. This type of mat is capable of self-inflation due to the open-cell foam that fills the internal cavity. This mattress is lightweight and pack to a small size. (Wikipedia)

Air jet. Air jet is a machine which exhaust air to the ground. The purpose of it is to reduce the heaviness that is brought by the pull of the earth’s gravity. By action-reaction, the bag is pushed up by the reaction of air bounced from the ground.

Aside from the special features of the hiking backpack, its inside is divided into many compartment for the basic needs. The purpose of the compartment is for the organization of the belongings and for it not to disarrange. Also, we consider the center of gravity for this feature. The center of gravity must be fixed at one point of the bag for it to be stable and convenient for the user.

In term of the cost of the backpack, it is quite expensive compared to other hiking backpacks. The difference in the cost is reasonable enough and worth it because of the special features incorporated in the backpack.

In term of functionality, this backpack is indeed advance among other backpacks. Also, this backpack is eco-friendly, from the materials used in the production up to the solar energy (a renewable energy from the sun) accumulated from the solar cells.
