     I am working on a project at the University of Oklahoma.  I need input
and this seems to be an efficient method to hear from people who know a
little more about electronics than I do (I'm an ME).  We are developing a
portable, 100W remote power system that couples wind power and photovoltaics.
If you can spare a few moments, please answer the following questions...
      
     1.  What can a 100W system be used for? (camping, military, etc.)
     2.  Would you recommend 12V or 24V system?  Why?
     3.  What would you consider to be maximum allowable weight?  Why?
     4.  Do you think there is a market for such a device?   

     Even if you aren't going to answer, thanks in advance for reading this
far.
