Powering led's and an electric motor with a 2600 farad Ultracapacitor

[jeffddow]

why doesnt it just discharge instantly when its connected?

[codemsan]

short it out! short it out! HAHA i can only imagine what would happen...

@codemsan I believe their website says that it can unleash over 9000amps if you were to short circuit it lol

[codemsan]

@Corvettesr4me yeah that not healthy

[cheetawolf]

what voltage is that ultracap rated at?

i want one ;P

[Corvettesr4me]

@cheetawolf 2.7v

Where you buy this ultracapacistor ?

How long would you say the light or motor would run for on the supercapacitor? and how much for that supercapacitor too?

[Corvettesr4me]

From my test, it powered the motor slowly for about 24 hours. I haven't calculated the duration of time the capacitor would keep the led lit. For that calculation, you have to keep in mind that once the voltage drops below 1.5 volts, the led will no longer be lit, so the full capacity of the capacitor isn't used. I believe the cost for one is around $68. It could be lower now.
