I would strongly urge people to *read* the materials available
on the web about previous cryobot efforts.

You are *NOT* going to get 400+ kW out of a battery over a
period of a day or more required to melt through hundreds
of feet of ice.

As I believe I have stated this is the power consumption
level of over *20* homes (at full power draw).

Get a grip on the numbers here and stop engaging in unproductive
fantasies.
