         Well, I was right. I managed to squeeze out 2,300 W/kg today.

         After studying the behavior of the cells under different loads, I 
would not be at all surprised if, with a few minor changes in the 
manufacturing process, they can greatly exceed the specific power of Bolder 
TMF cells for a run down the strip.
