While its clearly ahead of its time, and needs some polishing, can you imaging using this to power your camera in MOS (or not with a blimp?) situations say, in the Himalayas or the Congo, off a can of butane lighter gas or even methane from a swamp trap or a dung storage pit (Nepal)?
30 watt potential?
Pretty cool.
It might also power your laptop and drives for downloads where there is no other choice but inefficient solar panels (bulky).
You could build one or two right into a small Pelican case with a small UPS for stability and offboard fuel storage.
