Anyone here had any experience with supercapacitors?

You can buy one now which has about the storage capacity of a LITHIUM AA battery for $100. It is about the size of a beer can and obviously only stores as much as an AA battery... so the advantages?

1 million recharge cycles, that's pretty much a life time, the only issue is would the materials it's made of not degrade over the years. Anyone have knowledge on this?

Would get very very expensive to have enough supercapacitors for a few days of storage but yeah.

They were working on some interesting technology.

[tsakach]

An example of energy technology for doomers might be the following:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he Eprida technology uses agricultural waste biomass to produce hydrogen-rich bio-fuels and a new restorative high-carbon fertilizer (ECOSS). The process actually removes net CO2 from the air by stabilizing carbon in the topsoil where it is needed. In tropical or depleted soils ECOSS fertilizer sustainably improves soil fertility, water holding and plant yield far beyond what is possible with nitrogen fertilizers alone. The hydrogen produced from biomass can be used to make ethanol, or a Fischer-Troupsch gas-to-liquids diesel (BTL diesel), as well as the ammonia used to enrich the carbon to make ECOSS fertilizer.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('kjmclark', 'Y')ou could also use a woodgas rig with a regular generator. If you have a woodlot available, or even trash wood like willow or cottonwood, you're set. This requires a bit of tinkering, since AFAIK no one sells pyrolysis equipment, but it isn't too hard. Much cheaper than an equivalent capacity solar or wind system, and the unburned wood is your storage.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('fletch_961', 'I') believe you are misinterpreting what that press release says. The only thing that says is if the military decides to purchase an EESU for one of its systems it will be going through Lockhead Martin to integrate it.

Nothing about the military buying one unit, much less the whole capacity output from this company.

[fletch_961]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'S')ince Lockheed and the military are now involved, the specter of a patent secrecy order being applied to this technology is one of the possible explainations for some rather strange behavior surrounding this company.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he Invention Secrecy Act

The Invention Secrecy Act of 1951 requires the government to impose "secrecy orders" on certain patent applications that contain sensitive information, thereby restricting disclosure of the invention and withholding the grant of a patent. Remarkably, this requirement can be imposed even when the application is generated and entirely owned by a private individual or company without government sponsorship or support.
