Darren,
I believe they will run on Hydrogen, and so the only emission will be
pure h2O, so the only problem will be the damn thing cocking its leg up
against lamp posts LOL at least there won't be any yellow snow LOL
Cheers
Dave
Dave
Well as long as the robo dogs don't run on rechargeables, you'll be ok.
Big smile.
Darren.

Darren,
As with long distance walking, running and skiing, weight is the enemy,
and should the worst happen, you don't want the hazard of spare
batteries becoming "Built in" lol.
Standard batteries will be become obsolete in ten years or so! well I'd
better stock up with enough to see me through to my death lol perhaps
that spare set of rechargeable ones in my ski suit, might be enough or
indeed the cause as I said before, losing contact with your guide while
skiing is damn dangerous! the risk of batteries going flat, just as your
guide says "turn left to avoid the cliff edge" is obviously worth it to
save the environment! It's not rocket science is it!
Dave
I'm sure you had a pocket somewhere that was big enough to hold a spare
pair of rechargeables.
It's not rocket science.
Darren.

I'm sure Darren would change his mind about rechargeable batteries, if
like me back in February, while skiing using hands free walkie talkies,
which were fully charged the night before, you suddenly lose contact
with your guide. Why, because those damn rechargeables have gone flat.
Not only damn annoying, but dangerous too. You can guess where they
ended up that night!
Solar power is ok, but there aren't many solar powered torches on the
market lol
I don't think there will be many ladies, wanting solar powered Rabbits
either, no staying power lol, and who wants to see the last of that
great phrase "Batteries not included".
Dave
Hi Darren,
I don't believe rechargeables will ever be forced on people, they don't
last long enough with high drain products. And the energy it takes to
keep recharging them I would say equals that of throwing batteries away.
Solar power is the way to go, but we are not there yet. I don't use
rechargeables either, because they simply don't last long enough when
push comes to shove, especially in recording devices.
All the best
Steve

In my humble opinion that's not a very environmentally friendly
attitude.
Rechargeable batteries, in whatever form they may take are here to stay
and just like filament light bulbs they will eventually be obsolete, so
you will inevitably be forced to use rechargeables.
Plus of course the cost of recharging a few sets of batteries is far
less than buying brand new ones, even if you do buy them in bulk. So
it's really a false economy.
Darren.

Phil,
Well that's a no brainer, have you ever found a rechargable battery
that last's a quarter of the time a duracell battery lasts? and gives
some warning that its about to expire, I haven't! I can't be bothered
changing batteries all the time, so I use Duracell. I buy them in bulk
from Costco, and so the price is much more reasonable.
Dave
Thanks Dave, no surprise as you say but helpful nonetheless. What would
be interesting would be a comparison of performance of the likes of
duracell vs rechargeable..

Duracell, out performed all others, no surprise there, and Morison's own
were the best buy. Duracell worked out at 51 pence per hour and
Morrison's
29 pence per hour. Duracell lasted twice as long as the Morison's
batteries, so how many batteries do you want to carry around with you?
HTH
Dave
Sounds interesting, just for interest what was their findings re
batteries?
Is the show repeated at all do you know?

Hi Graham,
Take your pick, possibly the last two items! [smile]
20.00 THE GADGET SHOW. Consumer technology show. Jason Bradbury and Suzi
Perry
put rugged watches and multimedia players through their paces,
while
Jon Bentley visits some of Britain's leading technology
companies to
have a sniff around their research and development facilities.
And,
with so many Christmas presents depending on them, which
batteries
are best value for money? (Last in series) (Oracle)
Kind regards,
Gerry.
