Good evening!

Arigato!  Appreciate the info.

I might as well get some use out of the people who work for my 
department, why let them sit down all day long when that is what I want 
to do.  ^_-

Aheheehee....*THUNK!* <several moments more while Bert picks himself up off
the ground>

*Uh oh...Did I get too detailed?!?!*

That was fantastic!  (not to mention detailed)  Next question...Where do I
get this stuff!!  THat's my next home project!! Screw going to work!! I'm
gonna build a hardsuit now!!!........shit, I don't have a power supply!!
AAAAAAAGHH!!

Actually, the people here did come up with a power supply that is a 
little bit out of what the public usually thinks about.  Missles have 
what are called Atomic Batteries.  These batteries, developed by the 
Canadian Department of attomics and information is available from them, 
provide between 10,000 to 1,000,000 volts each.  They are about the size 
of a pin head and work in the following manner.

A hallow cadmium case is cut in half.

On the inside of one half a thin layer of reacting matterial is coated.

On the inside of the other half is a slightly absorbing matterial.

the two pieces are put back together being sparated from one another by 
an insulator of some kind.

The constant release of electrons from the reacting material provides the 
power and the two sides are now positive and negative battery poles.

I will confirm this information with some friends of mine at Pinawa 
Atomic Research Centre.

Yes, I *AM* crazy!  ;)

*rolls eyes...*

As if we didn't already know that...

Arigato!!  I bow to your superior knowledge!!  :)

Not mine!

The departments!
