The Super Supercapacitor | Brian Golden Davis



The eureka moment described here feels a whole lot like the moment in Primer where Abe slides the car batteries out of the way. (What do you mean, you haven't seen Primer yet? Close this window and go watch it immediately.)

Batteries work...sort of...

Capacitors - specifically supercapicitors - may, however, just end up being a far more effective means of energy storage, something that we are desperately in need of as we make the - hopeful - shift from fossil fuels to renewables, some of which (solar, wind) are very much problematic in their ability to provide round the clock energy production.

Could capacitors be the solution?
