OTHER: Electrical - Power Storage - Capacitor

• This Supercapacitor is being developed by The University of Maryland and Korea's Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. If it reaches their claims, it will have an energy density of 3,000 watt-hours per kilogram by mass. In addition, the article says; "In automobile applications gasoline contains around 12,000 wh/kg, which operates at 15% tank-to-wheel efficiency giving an effective energy density of 1800 wh/kg."
