i think the application for ultra capacitors can improve everything.solar-wind homes batteries would last a long time from not getting high energy draw spikes
I got my Christmas Present early, a bargain from EBay, 3200 N35 Grade Neodymium Magnets 30mm x 10mm x 2mm slabs. That's 32 metres long 30mm wide. Eight metres per wheel! They will be embedded in an ultra strong toothed belt(quasi-linear motor) Those 200 mph Formula '1' race cars had better move off the track. they will be too slow, and will get in the way!:-)
But, in this acceleration attempt the kart used a fuel cell (abouth 8,2 kW) and socalled ultra-capacitors (abouth 35 kW). Adding more ultra-capacitors would significantly increase the short time powersource and decrease the acceleration time.
However, this is only speculation. Main goal will be in endurance racing, and not in drag racing.
Very cool hydrogen/supercap electric kart. However, 11.4s is not a record for electric drive go-karts in the 1/8 mile. Go to nedra dot com, click on record holders to see 10.17s for a 48V e-Kart in 2001 with Lead Acid batteries. Lithium batteries should be even faster. Where hydrogen may have a future in racing is in endurance, not drag racing. The future of drag racing is with Lithium Iron Phosphate, like A123systems powered Kill-a-Cycle killacycle dot com
What part does "nitrogen" play in this gokart...please explain...

u dont need hydrogen just batterys and supercaps works fine:)
