   It would seem as if there is a power density problem with these devices,   
   assuming there is any reality to these stories. If the previous test melted the   
   device down, clearly there are temp regulation problems, The latest test   
   suggests that the temps can get high enough to be useful, but that they have   
   little faith in their ability to increase the energy level to useful levels   
   safely without destroying the device. Walmart won't have these for awhile.
