Gas-powered computing

Filed under: General,Technology— arlen@ 8:25 am

Sounds like an old joke, but you gotta see this: a Technology Review article about using micro jet engines to generate the electricity needed to run a portable device. Claims 10 hours of power generation off a diesel fuel pack the size of a D-cell. I don’t know, but it just seems so wrong to […]
