re: Any other guesses out there? Sure--I'll guess a Star Trek Transporter device...but I'll put my money on your guess. Hopefully, it won't require Windows XP to run.

I'd guess the stabilized mobile device, but what would be even more spectacular would be an efficient Stirling engine. I've looked at these things, and it is a concept just waiting for someone to commoditize a low-delta (low heat differential) device. You could go from 5% fuel efficiency to a multiple of that. This would change energy economics worldwide, if it were small and cheap, because it could exploit all kinds of low-level heat differences, especially solar, of at little as 30 degrees. Kamen's a smart guy, w. background in medical devices, so I'll be watching Monday, thanks for the notice.
