  Googling… it’s batteries :/

  They’re not allowed to use those

    Chemical batteries or all “batteries”. Sounds ridiculous both ways… But anyway.

    Lots of things get called batteries now days, but AFAIK this is a temperature gradient of salt water.

      Ehh, the word sounds odd but works. Batteries may be invented in some weird ways as of recent. That’s just a part of the path towards inventing a good solution: not all ideas are going to be the best.

      As for how weird? Whatever, as long as they work

        You didn’t say which batteries were not allowed.

        Its ridiculous to think that batteries are banned at all.
