What is on the horizon for POWER!

I found a number of interesting articles here on the future of power needs for Military equipment. My Thought is how long will these ideas take to trickle down to Audio Needs and will they actually deliver something better.

Welp, I guess I'll put my rail gun on hold until this all trickles down.

Unless you are running a theater with multiple amplifier banks I don’t know why you’d care a lot about power density.

As for things that trickle down, switch mode power supplies with spread spectrum switching frequencies seem to be pretty cool.  Instead of a fixed switching frequency they move it around, spreading the noise around instead of having one large noise spike, and it's harmonics.  Very cool stuff that.
