Rebuilding? Without the existing infrastructure (in
the wilderness), how
many people would be capable of building/making ANYTHING? Other than
What, you mean I have to extract metals from their ores, make simple hand
tools, etc? Doesn't sound totally impossible...

know how to extract
the materials needed from the ground?
Well, I'm glad you have confidence in me :-). I'm not so sure. I think I
could make something that would develop a voltage, but I susepct it would
polarise rather quickly... I guess it would depend on just what minerals
I could obtain....
MInd you, I suspect that many people couldn't make a simple cell even if
put in a reasonably well-stocked laboratory. That I _know_ I can do....
