''SuperCapasitor'' non toxic replacing batteries

[NewFounderHome]

A SuperCapasitor that might resolve the electric batterie issue.

But general publis should take on testing on this subject and not leave this to big corporation.

If your into new tech, check out this thread here:
Technological-advances (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?62082-Technological-advances-that-will-directly-affect-you-in-the-next-2-years)

I covered Graphene in it, but that's not NEARLY as exciting as the new "3d" graphene like compounds they are discovering (Graphene is limited to "2d" very very thin films that cannot be stacked together or the properties of the material change)

Lots of cool stuff happening now.

I explained in another thread somewhere the limitations of graphene for supercapacitor use, which I backed up with calculations.

I've been in the science game for long enough to see the advantage of generating publicity - even if it means misleading the public who are not educated enough in the field to know better. It's not always misleading, but a lot of what you read about graphene and supercaps is. Ric Kaner did the rounds in the science media with conducting polymers a few years ago, now he's doing it with graphene. Everytime I see a story like this his name is in the small (or large) print somewhere. Aside from the benefits to his research group, he's getting people interested in science which is a good thing - but I feel its getting out of hand.

The prospect of disposing of a high energy supercap in your compost is ridiculous - the chemicals required in the electrolyte for high energy devices are very toxic.

Not meaning to bring down your thread, just adding my thoughts.

The SuperCapasitor and electrolyte ?

We are talking about graphene not another type of supercapasitor.

Very well :)

just out of curiosity is there any other technology's that you know that has the same benefits as super capacitors and graphene?

they are starting to find materials that function the same, (or better) see here: http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?62082-Technological-advances-that-will-directly-affect-you-in-the-next-2-years&p=787622&viewfull=1#post787622

it will still be a while though.

Imagine 3D printing a "3d" Graphene part!

Much the same for the electric cars. The hazardous disposal of the batteries is far worse to the environment in the long run than to just drive the Lincoln Navigator gas hog and be done with it!
