I was laying in bed last night, where i noramlly get my ideas, and i
though it would be cool to power an electronic trigger frame with a
solar panel on the sight rail or something. Do you tinhk i could get
enough juice out of that?

What if no brain? Bad idea. Unless you had a solar charger for a rechargeable battery. But then again, who wants to sit in the sun and wait on their gun to recharge?? ------------- WAR EAGLE!!! |

| It would work, if you found a way to massivly increase the output from solar panels... or wanted to mount a massive panel to your back and lug it AND all the recharging equipment around the whole game.... Forget it man, not gonna happen anytime in the near future. Technology just isnt good enough yet. |

It has been tought of, and if the solar pannel gets damaged your
Effed. It would take a while for it to charge, and what charge
would move the bolt? It would have to be a large one to move it
rappidly enough to move the paintball as fast as our air systems do
now. And even if you could get it to move it would require a
large electrical source. -Not posotive, someone correct me if im wrong. ------------- |

Whats next? A marker powered my a giant windmill on it. No Need for Co2, or batterys, the windmill creates the air and power.

That could work, just put one of those propellers on your mask ------------- You can go far with a smile. You can go a lot farther with a smile and a gun.
