Towards perpetual equipment by avoiding batteries

Stone Age implements were passed between generations. Then the abacus and the Singer sewing machine were passed between generations so cost per operation approached zero. Today you can still see some 50 year old transistor radios in use. The almost “perpetual” product is nothing new though of course, nothing strictly lasts forever.
