I agree with that, however this is based on "now" technology. As I said I'm no expert just a thinker. I mentioned in an earlier post that 100+ years ago no one would believe that my grass would be cut with a length of plastic string, "it will bend out of shape, you would have to drive it at impossible revs etc"
Just because we can't use static today doesn't prove that it will never happen. Suppose a laser or two projected ahead of the a/c could cause the mini thunderstorm. Daft ideas department yes.
Years ago, 60s again, Royal Navy, I was issued with a life jacket containing a "sea cell" powered lamp which only worked when in sea water, I don't think it was any use in rivers. What happened to any development of stuff like that?
I'm a firm believer in "we don't know what we don't know".
