Styx said:BUT the problem with SuperCaps is their VERY (and I mean VERY!!!) low ripple current capability!. If such a tech was to be used in motor-drives that ripple-handling will have to be increased by a significant ammount
Nigel Goodwin said:But no one has suggested using super-caps for such an application, the reference (either true or not?) doesn't make such a claim - just a combination of new battery technology and new ULTRA-capacitor technology.
Certainly a better electrical storage medium is long overdue - it needs to be MUCH lighter, MUCH more powerful, MUCH smaller, and MUCH cheaper.
Even assuming this is real, and an improvement on existing technology, I doubt it will meet all four?
audioguru said:You can't power a car directly with a capacitor. The voltage drops very quickly, exponentially. Maybe PWM can reduce the power when the capacitor is fully charged then provide a direct connection when it is nearly dead.

They said they were working on getting the production line up (I think to produce units for ZENN). They also said their patent in online. Perhaps one of the EE types could take a look at it.
Hero999 said:I wouldn't recommend building a car with capacitors like this because the technology could easilly be misused for neuclear weapons.
Huge capacitors are often used in particle accelerators which are a component of all nuclear weapons.Nigel Goodwin said:So what has capacitor storage got to do with nuclear weapons?.
