There's an excellent solution to this guy's problem. I have some
misgivings about posting it, but since there are other ways to make various
sorts of destructive devices, I've decided to do so.
The highest power-to-weight ratio in batteries is found in the Polaroid
PolaPulse (TM) battery. This is a flat object about the size of a playing
card and about 2mm thick. One is inside every Polaroid film pack. These
units are designed to deliver about 10-20 amps, as I recall, for a second
or so at a time, and provide the energy to drive the motor that forces the film
through the developing rollers. You can buy the batteries from Polaroid in
a somewhat more convenient form than one obtains by dismantling a film
cartridge, and Polaroid sells a developer's kit for these units.
