Being developed by Lockheed.  Really looks good.  Very to hours on a battery; however, used of fuel cells could give it days capability.

What about dropping these off using drones?  How high could they safely be dropped?  Could they safely be dropped with a man in them?  This reminds me of the devices used in the movie Android.

Looking to Buy Power Inverter for Car

Looking to buy a new power inverter for my car.  The old one died after many year.  I think I have found a good one.  The XOVision Xo200.  Both WalMart and Amazon have it for the same price ($18).  However, I can save $6 is shipping if I use the Walmart site to store option.

I was not able to find a good review on the product.  Even the XOVision site was a little weak.

It looks like the size of the average fuse for the car's cigarette lighter is 15 Amps.

Unfortunately, Walmart stock was out, so I bought it from Amazon.  Should be here by the 7th of July.

I would also like to buy the XoVision 600W Power Inverter, XO360.  This one would need to be connect directly to the battery.  But the 600W max and 360W continus looks pretty nice and at $18, it is really hard to bet.
