An essential on any handheld. The most used program on my old TI-85 was Tetris, and on my Palm.....what better to get me through a boring class or meeting than a little Tetris? And it even looks like I am working on something:-) ----
Whenever an article like this appears (one which requests feedback from a third party) it always makes me wonder if they (in this case WIPO) visit/. and read our comments?
What am I thinking? Then they would have to sift through all the First Posts, Natalie Portman and CowboyNeal references. And can you imagine then getting a Go@S*x link? ----
According to the article, the fuel will be methanol, which is much less volatile and flammable than gasoline or diesel. For more info on methanol check here. Methanol vapor must be four times more concentrated in air than gasoline vapor for ignition to occur. So while there would be a greater risk than using a conventional battery, danger to the soldier is not a huge issue.
Also take into consideration the fact that they are using microchannels up to 500 microns wide, so the amount of hydrogen gas present at any given time will most likely be miniscule. ----
