Aren't those the Ultra Capacitors that EESTOR has been working on for a few years now? They are working on those Capacitors for a company named ZENN Motors who make electric cars up here in Canada. (but they can't sell them in Canada
Stupid Government). Judging by an article I read about the new crop of ZENN cars for 2010, I think they might have achieved their goal.
Here's a quote from the ZENN Motors website.
''The ZENNergy™ drivetrain solution promises to deliver energy storage packs that are
• one-tenth the weight and mass of lead acid batteries,
• capable of one million-plus cycles,
• able to be fully recharged faster than any electrochemical
*battery and deliver superior performance in extreme
*operating temperatures
• safe
• cost effective – lower cost than current Lithium Ion
*battery technology''
