Hi! I started doing some research to get really deep into electronics, formerly knowing almost nothing (solenoid piston motors are awesome!), and I tripped over something called Supercapacitors and Ultracapacitors.
When i was working with lasers years ago, we used a lot of 3.7-ish batteries, like the blue ones, the lithium ion stuff you can crack open a laptop battery to find bunches of to gut, and the CR123As you are probably familiar with. Flashlight people are probably familiar with the weirder batteries like FourSevens fatty and proprietary 26650.
Well, I was wondering if Ultracapacitors can be used in laser design. Do they function in similar ways? Can they be regulated? Do they have more purpose as pulse laser type stuff, like that old video of the pop can hole puncher? I get the feeling the Laser Diodes would just burn out, and would like to hear from you guys what the Truth about Ultracapacitors really is.
Thanks!
