Soladey-J3X solar powered toothbrush cleans your teeth without toothpaste

The toothbrush you can see in the image was designed by Dr. Kunio Komiyama at the University of Saskatchewan and is manufactured by Shinken, a Japanese firm. It may look like an regular toothbrush but it isn’t! Soladey-J3X uses a mini solar panel at its base to produce some cleaning teeth electrons.
This toothbrush sends the electrons produced by those solar panels to the top through a led wire. When the electrons reach in the mouth, they cause a chemical reaction that helps cleaning your teeth without using toothpaste. For now, the solar powered toothbrush is just in a testing phase. The manufacturer wants to find 120 teens, to test this paste-less toothbrush, in order to prove them that it is much more effective than a traditional brush.
“You see complete destruction of bacterial cells…The device won’t work in the dark, however, and needs about as much light to work as a solar powered calculator.”, Dr. Kunio Komiyama said.
