Sorry for the delay in responding. It has taken me a while to locate the company. The company I was contracting to at the time was Falcon Systems, but, that company is no longer in business. The owner has started a new company called 1100Energy. The product you are looking for is SBP-1100e Smart Battery Power system. There web site is 1100energy.com.
Yes, Chuck, I think this power source also beats the boot apparatus that generates electricity. That ultimately becomes a drag on walking. The solar collector may be the answer. So what to the soldiers do? Wear it on their back, or spread it out during lunch?
It wouldn't make any worthwhile water with that amount of power. Instead a manual pump unit would be used or just disinfecting filters/straws that gravity feed are more likely.
Even for electronics they better be eff, low drain as 55wthrs/day isn't much.
As I said last time a small 2lb wind or stream/river generator would make far more and for many more hrs/day. They could be the same unit with different rotors as we in the 1970's made to power our sailboat autopilots, etc.
Nothing new here and available for campers, etc at well stocked outdoor sports stores or online.
200lbs of batteries? Right!! That is far worse than the 30lb claim in another recent article here. Just not true for a standard soldier outfiting.
Nor would this unit replace that much battery. You can get 1kwhr in just 22lbs or less with lithium. even less if they didn't have to be rechargable. This unit would take 20 days to make that much power.
Great development. In addition to using electricity to operate electronic devices, I could see a soldier also using this to generate electrcity for a portable water purifier, which could further extend a soldier's range and duration.
By experimenting with the photovoltaic reaction in solar cells, researchers at MIT have made a breakthrough in energy efficiency that significantly pushes the boundaries of current commercial cells on the market.
In a world that's going green, industrial operations have a problem: Their processes involve materials that are potentially toxic, flammable, corrosive, or reactive. If improperly managed, this can precipitate dangerous health and environmental consequences.
With LEDs dropping in price virtually every year, automakers have begun employing them, not only on luxury vehicles, but on entry-level models, as well.

A quick look into the merger of two powerhouse 3D printing OEMs and the new leader in rapid prototyping solutions, Stratasys. The industrial revolution is now led by 3D printing and engineers are given the opportunity to fully maximize their design capabilities, reduce their time-to-market and functionally test prototypes cheaper, faster and easier. Bruce Bradshaw, Director of Marketing in North America, will explore the large product offering and variety of materials that will help CAD designers articulate their product design with actual, physical prototypes. This broadcast will dive deep into technical information including application specific stories from real world customers and their experiences with 3D printing. 3D Printing is
