There is rumor that this chip amp, called the CentKilo, supposedly can run at full output, into 1-ohm loads, powered from a 1 sq. ft. solar panel on an overcast day. Prof I. Lirpa did not release this product as he planned exactly two months ago, because he hadn't been able to attain such output. The problem has delayed its release indefinitely.
To complicate matters, Lirpa also stated the worry that Russian President Putin claimed USA President Bush forced the rekindling of the Cold War, hence materials for solar panels, apparently ordered for building new military reconnaissance satellites, have skyrocketed in price, in his native Russia. "I don't mind capitalism in my great country, but why they always need to engage in war is beyond my mental capability. Government should be spending on amplifiers, not military!"
Prof. Lirpa then thought he may have been able to use a car battery to simulate the solar panel during nighttime, but he realized something could be awry, citing the Second Law of Thermodynamics.....
