Is it possible to build solar powered cargo containers that can store enough energy to power up and RFID active chip, which can constantly ping the satellite for tracking? If we use the same small batteries that are used in aircraft emergency locator transmitters or ELTs, with a special cut off switch, which prevents overcharging, then we should be able to track all the cargo containers in the whole world. If a cargo container does not ping the satellite then it will get red flagged and it will be checked when he gets to its next location. The battery should store enough energy win it is in direct sunlight while on a train rail car getting a piggyback ride or driving down the highway behind a truck to Ping satellite for six to seven months even if it is riding inside of a cargo ship with other cargo containers stacked all around it where it can get no sunlight to charge the solar powered battery that runs the system. The additionally, if all the cargo containers on the ship were networked together in eight net centric configuration the cargo container at the bottom which has no sunlight may have enough power to reach one on the top that does and that container could relay the information to the satellite. Then we would never have to worry anymore about nuclear bombs inside of cargo containers. Anyway I hope that you find this information worthy and please consider this in 2006.
