    Just wondering how much energy costs per shot of FOFU.
    Maybe it could be saved by harvesting static atmospheric electricity in some way?
    It might be not so significant when you have funding, but some hobbyist might do it…

    Its expected to cost around 43kJ, last time I checked. Since that translates to 43 BTU, the size and cost of the machinery may be shocking, lol.
