As a "circumnavigator of Angel Island next week", I carry a whole metric
****load of electronic gear. You name it, I have it, and how do I power it? Yes
indeed, I had about 6klbs of lead hanging underneath my boat looking for
something to do, so I decided to use it to encase a backpack nuclear reactor. I
don't know why more sailors haven't been doing this, the solution to our
problems (power vs. weight) being so obvious. I don't even talk to my crew any
longer, I just send them text messages from the helm or navigation station.

I have a cleaner, more environmentally friendly way to serve all my
electrical power needs - I have harnessed all the excess HOT AIR the likes
of Bruce in Bangkok, Capt. Skippy, WayneB, Gogarty and a few others
constantly blow with great force and pressure into rec.boats.cruising.

Hot Air? A singularly inadequate description of the recent lessons on
Electricity and Thermodynamic Heat Pump Cycles, to give it the name
that the Wiki uses, which were conducted in an attempt to educate the
ignorant.
