Wow... this is amazing... I wonder what the efficiency really is. Also I saw a report on these small recon chips... I think they usei t to monitor forests now. The newest model is about a fraction of the size of a penny. It also has a small motor. Not at the nano scale yet but it's getting close.... I saw it on tv... if I find more info I'll post. _________________ "My Heart Is In the Work" - Andrew Carnegie |
