Hi Herve!

I can't remember what thread it was in, but some time in the not-too-distant
past, we were talking about a new few cell technology that the TORO company
has built for a golf cart.  There's a working prototype, and I think by now
(or sometime soon) it was supposed to be on the market.

Somebody posted a URL for a webpage about this; I read it; sounded promising
for psub use.  TORO touted less danger of explosion than hydrogen fuel
cells, and increased efficiency, too.

Anybody remember this?  Do I remember KARL FULLER knowing something about
this one?

VBR,

Pat
