TBH, I was never that impressed with the 20KV high voltage "stun guns" in terms of deterrence. I stuck one into the meat of my arm and the actual sensation was roughly akin to continuously feeling a small needle driven about half an inch into the flesh. If you weren't expecting it, or were apprehensive because you had seen the effects of real tasers, the sensation would startle and bother you. However, if you weren't either of those things, you could easily tolerate the "needling" feeling at least to the point where you started to suffer actually noticeable burns. I wish I had received a tattoo so that I could better compare the sensations, but from what I have been told there are many areas on the human body where tattooing would cause much more pain. Either way, the feeling isn't enough to compel any sort of behavior from an opponent, even to the degree of dropping something held in the fingers.

Mate, I have a shameless proposition for you. Could you give your input on : Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC), Molten Carbonate Fuel Cells, And Carbonate-SuperStructured Fuel Cells. These fuel cells work similarly to hydrogen fuel cells, but can use simpler hydrocarbons like petrol/gasoline or diesel or methane and possibly many other hydrocarbons. With higher efficiency than an engine. And the obvious advantage of less mechanical complexity than any engine. But are these real or just gimmicks and impractical?

For making graphene out of trash, how much power do you think that would require per day, considering the average size of a landfill? Even if you had power with solar and wind, you would need a LOT of extra power (and capacitors) to flash that much every minute. Per metric ton per hour. How many capacitors and power storage (say you used Molten Salt) do you think that would be and what other systems could you use to increase the efficiency, considering the source? Would Hydrogen help out, if for instance you were making it as well (solar/wind/wave), similar to chemical plants using hydrogen as boilers and reclaim any waste heat/energy from cogeneration
