So I’m assuming it has large heavy tanks and a heat exchanger to warm it up?

Hydrogen although light needs a lot of heavy equipment to use it, I’m not sure where the boundary between hydrogen and batteries is, at what distance.

Fluorescent tubes? One experiment is to light a tube by holding it close to an electric field? Couldn’t it derive power via this whilst flying along power lines? I’m guessing it’s the wrong orientation.

Actually in Kent there's a park where they are reintroducing European Bison, and alongside them some Elk. I mean it is a fenced off area experiment.

There are so many deer around here now, they're asking people to hunt them and trying to start a taste for venison.
