no need of lithium at all. There is a well planned misunderstanding about energy and power nowdays, on purpose, so that we keep paying. So price is what the company decides to put as price. Since such products are lacking competition it is no surprise that prices are far too high. I remember economy classes, they said the price depends on whats the customer ready to pay. Related to this I was watching yesterday evening this below, so ... judge yourself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3t7W6jsjJLM -- cite -- Inventors Beware! It is my intent of this treatise and through my other writings to explain the many facets of "radiant energy" and how it is possible to draw power from it. I have notarized papers and articles predating similar claims made by others. The Moray lead formula is just one example. I advise all inventors who want proper public credit to do the same. By reviewing history it is understandable why some inventions are not commercialized. It is economics, not science, that is the main factor. It will be remembered that alternating current was opposed by powerful financiers in Tesla's time. Michael Pupin, noted in his autobiography: .. ...captains of industry... who were afraid that they would have to scrap some of their direct current apparatus and the plants for manufacturing it, if the alternating current system received any support. A most un-American attitude... but ignorance and false notions prevailed in the early nineties, because the captains of electrical industries paid small attention to highly trained scientists. Once again, we face Tesla's battle with the organized opposition!__BP Source: http://teslatech.net/ttstore/report/articles/v2n2art/radiant.htm regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
