Subject: [alt-beam] Re: The VoreBall


Here's a couple questions....

- Great concept idea but....
- Lets say the light source was paralell to the surface the ball was on?
What would happen?
- I could be wrong but arn't solanids very unefficint?
- What about the weight of 20 solanoids?
- Would the ball even move with the power/weight ratio?

I'd like to hear some other ideas on this.

Just my $.0000000002 worth
