Bill:

Your search for a "simple" way to power gear is great. It points out a
lot of what is, and what is NOT possible.

Just powering a little 100 watt rig is not a simple thing, when you
don't have access to a 120v plug.

Your question points out what a joke electric and hydrogen powered cars
are. There are no hydrogen wells and you still have to burn oil to get
the electricity you need to power umpteen electric cars. (yes, there
are windmills and hydro-generators, but they could not produce a
fraction of the power which would be needed if all cars were powered off
electric)

Makes one yearn for a true "zero point energy" source ...
