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.

Mmmm, might work, but is very load sensitive, it would need a
superconducting wiring system. Anyway, if you could mail about 20 of the
10,000 volt kind, I'll ship you a hardsuit. (you'll have to send me your
measurements as well, I can build one that will adjust to the wearer)

Maybe I can get Upul to check to see if A.E.C.L. has any info on this. (he
works there, but only as night security, so he would have to 'rumage' for
the info. well maybe)
