    Crunching numbers on this green house, I reckon $60k plus a generous $10k maintenance allowance for the power system over the years it takes to recoup the losses.

    Taking a true-cost approach, I'll ignore subsidies, though that certainly cuts the time in half for early buyers.

    Pulling $180 per month out of my butt as an estimate for conventional power, I come up with about 32 years to pay off the difference. Which... is actually pretty good aside from the pile of Li-ion and silicon waste left at end-of-life.

    @yule-and-bellow: No - I mean if something initially costs $100 and someone says prices are cut by 50%, this means that the new price is $50. If they say prices are cut by 100%, this means the new price is zero. If you say the price is cut by 800%, this means the new price is -$700. #gizmodoremainders

    I think thats right, you can tell me if I am or not because you're first comment flew right over my head, proving you have the superior mind of us two...or google is paying people massive amounts of money to have all the data in the world put in their cloud...further inching them closer to world domination

    Does the fact that the Sanyo Japan site (like many Japanese sites) has English text on it mean that the Japanese are better educated than us, or is it more like "our product name is in English, so it must be cool"?

    So it will supply 5 volts for two hours in Japan in August. What kind of performance can we expect in the US in March. Also, same question, but add in the fact there is a train leaving Intercourse PA heading west at 16mph.

    Someone correct me if I am wrong, but isn't carbon fiber becoming the new asbestos?

    Why did they have to fiberize it, when they should have left well wnough alone keeping it in it's inanimate rod form.

    @HumungaCowabunga_GitEmSteveDav...: I have some concerns over all this carbon fiber and "nano" material being put out too. What happens in 50 years when it is all brittle and breaks into pieces and becomes dust and these tiny filaments bypass our body's filtration systems?

    @HumungaCowabunga_GitEmSteveDav...: I believe it's carbon nano-particles and nano-tubes you should be concerned with. Carbon in itself is not dangerous, so far as we know, we use it in pencil lead. Nano-structures are considered dangerous because they're smaller than human cells and can potentially invade the cells, causing undesirable side-effects.

    Going from what I know, (as a materials engineer), carbon fiber is designed to replace sheet metal and rods. Carbon, in its natural form is too brittle for most applications, it also tends to flake, thanks to its molecular arrangement. Carbon fiber materials are typically made up of a sheet of woven carbon, as well as a light-weight epoxy that allows it to hold its shape. The resulting product has a lot of desirable properties. It's durable like a metal, it has a high yield strength, like a ceramic, and it's lightweight like a plastic.

    "Sanyo's press release says it'll switch modes when it's turned horizontal, mentioning that there's some kind of accelerometer, although it seems like a simple activate-on-disconnect system would work just fine."


    If it were a disconnect-activated thing, there's a couple ways of doing it - the wrong way, which would be to have it detect an absence of induction - which would default to flashlight mode in the event of an outage - or the right way, using a magnet and a hall effect sensor.


    For the way they say it actually will be, you don't really need an accelerometer, just a mercury switch.
