>...Serious multiples of energy storage capacity -- apparently.  Cheap
non-toxic materials, they seem to say.  Easy (cheap) and environmentally
benign manufacturing methods kind of implied.  Unsaid, but pondered, "Does
the greater capacity translate to ***LIGHTER*** energy source/storage module
(formerly "battery pack")?

Jeff I hope it is true, but I think not.  When it says "holds 20 times the
charge" I assume they mean per unit mass?  They don't say.  If not mass,
then 20 times the charge per what?  If per unit mass, the claim is way
beyond believable.
