please excuse any idiotic comments I may make, Im new to this (I think that pretty much sums it all up). Ive seen discussions on batteries and power supplies. Though I can add nothing (maybe) to that thread I thought I might be able to add some ideas for new power sources. The first idea is to use a small sterling engine to run a pager motor and generate electricity to recharge a battery pack. The sterling engine is a heat differential engine, some of the smaller engines will run off the heat coming from a persons hand. Right now there are some small models available that will run off the heat generated by a cup of coffee (Though I have a tough time imagining why anyone would put it over their cup of coffee:)) Ive seen some mention of using solar cells but I might be able to suggest a somewhat cheeper alternative. A couple of months ago I recived a small book with plans for creating solar cells based on copper instead of silicon for mere pennies (the cells, not the book). I havent been able to test the process myself because of time constrains and the the lack of a acetalyne (I think thats right) torch. If anybody were interested in trying this all I would ask is whether or not the process works, thats all. http://members.aol.com/JNaudin509/index.htm This sight is one of those Free Energy sites. I know what your thinking, crackpot wacko right? I try to keep my mind open but there may be some devices that could be of use to others. Well, I guess the only thing left to say is let the flaming commence. ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
