that was going to be my question... voltage may seem well (hell, a car battery is only 12) but wattage and amperage is pretty important...

I have one but haven't hooked it up yet. It is next to the 100mpg carburetor and hydrogen injector I bought for my car.

If the claims prove to be true that probably isn't the case. They are saying the "hair" solar cell generates 18 watts, which at 9 volts means 2 amps. I doubt any of the $10 12 volt cells are making 1 amp, much less two. That is why this is so remarkable, if true. Of course that is also why I am skeptical.
