Genius Part 3 [30 Pics] For More Genius Pics Go Here: Make A Cheap & Easy Solar USB Charger With An Altoids Tin Photos by Joshua Zimmerman The craftster behind the very popular $3 solar-powered emergency radio is back with a new awesome project: a cheap solar battery charger with a USB plug.

Zimmerman states, "The central brain of our project is a DC to USB converter circuit.
