Recent developments at Mit have shown that the performance of supercapacitors can be significantly improved by using nanomaterials. The energy storage capability of a capacitor is directly proportional to its capacitance which in turn is proportional to the area of the plates or electrodes. Likewise the current carrying capability is directly proportional to the area of the electrodes. By using vertically aligned, single-wall carbon nanotubes which are only several atomic diameters in width instead of the porous, amorphous carbon normally employed, the effective area of the electrodes can be dramatically increased. While the achievable energy density of 60Wh/Kg still can not match the level obtainable in Lithium Ion batteries (120Wh/kg), the power densities achieved of 100kW/kg are three orders of magnitude better than batteries.
Commercial products are not yet available but should be soon.
Similar advances are promised by the use of new very high permittivity dielectrics such as Barium titanate.

It’s awful hard to explain physics to someone who says stuff like dem caps is all junk cuz. Duh I am a tard and I know batherys is whats you need. Just fill your batherys with brondo it’s the thirst muttillater
