Hello, George Telford, Andrew and all others interested in POWER
A much-shrouded idea could give portable power a real charge,
for a change and change, well, everything !
Guys and Gals ... I read this article and would like some feed back from the heavy Power hitters here on the forum? I think you guys could get excited over this idea of a quick charge battery sort of like a capacitor charge that is plugged into an outlet?
If it is true ... This could be the answer to so many of the questions we have on this forum about power for running all our creature comforts. I for one would invest heavy into this winning idea if true.

Excerpts from the link below to wet your whistle!
1.) EEStor's technology, to be accurate, isn't really a battery at all. In techie speak it's a ceramic ultracapacitor with a barium titanate dielectric. A mouthful to be sure, but what's important is that it's designed to combine the superior storage abilities of a battery with the higher power and discharge characteristics of an ultracapacitor.
2) Reliable in the coldest winters and warmest summers, "ultracaps" can typically be cycled � that is, completely discharged and recharged � more than a million times, outlasting any iPod or that electric scooter in your garage.
3.) Using carbon nanotube structures, they claimed to have developed a way to improve by 100-fold the energy storage capacity of ultracapacitors.
4.) It also says its technology more than doubles the energy density of lithium-ion batteries in most portable computer and mobile gadgets today, but could be produced at one-eighth the cost.
Come - on George and Andrew... if you haven't heard of this before your whistle is wet and your curiosity is running in over time.... eh?

I am interested to see if some of you could get excited about this supposid break through in battery tech?
