Super Capacitors

This Page has a number of really interesting pages and websites relating to super capacitors. Super capacitors can eventually replace lithium-ion batteries. It is possible to instantly charge these batteries as fast as you can dump energy into them. Below are very interesting links showing vendors, research groups and even discussion groups relating to this fascinating technology.

Super Capacitors Theory and description

The link above gives a pretty good fundamental description of the super capacitor.

Wikipedia link

This is the link to the main Wikipedia page on super capacitors.

The link to MIT research on Nanotube Super capacitors

This link  Points to some MIT research pages, and some of the effort being done at MIT for researching this new technology.

The link to FastCap systems

founded by the very person doing the MIT research listed above.

Battery University

This link goes to Battery University,  another  educational source on new battery technology.   These are on sale now in small size units,  and affordable by any electrical hobbyist.

Feel free to comment below to report on any experimental results of these batteries.   Has anyone played with them?
