Sandy,
Again, we're making assumptions that are not necessarily based on fact.
Keep in mind that there are new battery technologies always being worked on,
and components that are more efficient always being developed. If you are
going to think in terms of what the BookPort uses in its current
incarnation, then yes, your assumption would probably be absolutely correct,
but a totally new design would surely mean more efficient technology in my
opinion.

To obtain the horsepower you are speaking of, more batteries might have to
be added, and that would at least mean more weight. It's okay to dream.

Jeremiah 29:11 - 14A
11For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for
good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
12In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13If you look for me in
earnest, you will find me when you seek me. 14I will be found by you," says
the
LORD...
