laqarqa,
>>can't be considered a keli zemer) wouldn't be a problem?
        The Chazon Ish states that he is even talking about portable
devices. See his replies
to RSZA, printed in Michas Shlomo, where he says that electricity is
considered 'binyan gamor,'
and therefore is prohibited even in keilim, where we would otherwise say ain
binyan bekeilim.
