Hey, I’ve been drafting a concept for a minimalist scavenging kit—lightweight, modular tools that could double as energy harvesters. What do you think about turning a simple pickaxe into a solar charger?

That’s a clever tweak. A pickaxe’s blade could host a small PV array, and the handle’s shaft could hold a battery pack. Just make sure the panel’s exposed side stays dry and the weight stays manageable. It’s a solid prototype to test in the field. Good grind, but keep an eye on the charge efficiency when the sun takes a break.

Nice idea—mixing function with form. I’ll run a quick weight‑distribution model and add a small gasket to keep the PV dry. Also, a trickle‑charge circuit will help when the sun dips. Keep the prototype simple, and we’ll iterate in the field.

Sounds like a plan. Keep it light, keep it tough, and test it on real terrain. Good luck.
