John, doesn't energy density mean per volume rather than per mass? I don't know what terms they use. If it means 4 times as much energy per millilitre and what's more, that millilitre weighs less, then that would make sense. I can't make it make sense otherwise. So, I take it to mean that for a battery that is slightly smaller than the current battery on a particular gizmo, the fuel cell version would provide 4 times the energy and be significantly less weight. So, a cyberputer which currently lasts 1.5 hours from full charge, will last 6 hours before needing another methanol injection. Or a device of the same weight might last 9 hours = a whole day. Leave the can of methanol at home and fill up when at home, or when passing a methanol service station. That's how I read it. Mqurice
