US Department of Defense announced the open competition for the best design of a portable power system for troopers. The requirements are: the device has to weigh within 8 pounds and be able to power most electronic equipment - radios, global positioning systems, night vision devices - for a single trooper for a period of four days. The new power generator device will replace the current wearable power systems used the US army - they weigh over 19 pounds and include battery pack and solar panel generator with the accessories. DOD will announce the three winners in 2008, and the chosen design will get a $1 million check for the exclusive right to use the design for mass production in the US military.
Design or place any portable power system on animals and people. Some examples can be bugs powered by batteries, elephants wearing solar panels, and people having carrying small power plants on their backs. Your power system can be actually carried, worn, or built in the animal / person like in the example with batteries.
