How about milliwatts and microwatts. Isn't Eveready/Duracell/Rayovac/Panasonic a billion-dollar industry? A small "fuel cell" based on CF would wipe it out. I'm suprised that the conspiracy theorists haven't given up with the oil company thing, and instead taken up the topic of paid assassinations of OU inventors by a secret consortium of battery companies. :) (((((((((((((((((( ( ( ( ( (O) ) ) ) ) ))))))))))))))))))) William J.
