http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/09/09/backpack.reut/index.html ------------------------------ Yeah, you get 7 watts if you hump along 85 lbs (38 kg) in the backpack. Hmmm... I don't think I'd have the energy to operate after hauling that load up a mountain. Anybody remember a famous cartoonist of yesteryear named "Rube Goldberg"? He used to come up with these ideas for fun in the comics! It also makes this interesting claim: "Pound for pound, food contains about 100-fold more energy than batteries." Clearly we need a bionic K2. But I can just picture finding the darn thing raiding the 'fridge after a busy evening on the air, or discovering my K2 used the aux i/o computer link to order a family-sized triple pepperoni pizza in the middle of the sweepstakes.
