Nanotube Enhanced Ultracapacitor

Professor Joel Schindall of MIT's Laboratory for Electromagnetic and Electronic Systems discusses his work in developing a fast-charging, long-lived ultracapacitor that provides quick energy and holds as much energy as a battery of equal dimensions.

This particular MIT project is funded by Ford (or at least was). I actually filmed this about 16 months ago.

nice video you did.

Hello Harvey,

Thank you for your kind comment!

Where can you buy this ultracapactor?

[josephspaguniak]

I don't think it's available on the commercial market. To confirm this, your best bet is to contact Professor Joel Schindall at MIT for more information.

Good luck!

Maxwell Technologies has been making Ultra-Capaciters Called Boostcap for sometime in the Industrial Sector. They are also on the NASDAQ Exchange under ticker symbol MXWL. they are not profitable yet but do about 80mil in revenues.

Is the activated carbon configuration as hexagonal carbon nano tubes? I wonder how the adhesion of the carbon to the aluminum effects the output of the capacitor.
