There is a variable hysterisis 1381 Solar engine designed by Miller a way
back that he hasn't bothered to publish yet (and I KNOW it's lethargy, NOT
exclusivity behind the reason he hasn't shared it yet).
I'll be seeing him in India this week, and will get him (or get his
permission) to sketch it up and send it out.

that's right. Yes, I know it looks like "HOCKYRINK." Yup, only
2 vowels. Pronounciation? _SMITH_".
