Go to Post My nephew...loves FIRST. He wants to be an X-Cat but since he lives in Atlanta and that's a heck of a long commute for meetings I told him he probably should strive to be the next best thing: a CircuitRunner. - Koko Ed [more]

But what happens if it's not actually a capacitor, but a piece of NAND Flash memory using quantum tunnel injection?

Actually I have no idea what the answer is.

Here's an interesting concept however: If you pick up enough static from the regolith, can you get enough weight in extra electrons to give you a significant advantage over the competition? That all assumes you're not actually losing electrons to the floor instead...
