Simple, must provide 20 watts of average electric power for 96 hours, meet a brief peak power demand of up to 200 watts, and weigh no more than 8.8 pounds.  Easy right?

The Million dollar idea? METHANOL!!!  That’s right!!!  It’s kinda like say “Hey soldier Bob, strap this gas bomb on your chest, and kill some bad folk GO GO GO!!!!”

Um… Am I the ONLY one seeing a problem with strapping 8 lbs of gas to a soldiers chest and sending them into battle?  Seriously?  I mean, what’s next?  “What we want you to do is, take this hive of bees, shove em in your britches, run over there, and thorw them at teh enemy.”  Yes, that is about as dumb as this idea sounds to me.
