Hey everyone. So a fellow electronics geek like me pointed out that I should buy some ultracaps since there is a sale of them on Electric Goldmine right now.
Inquisitive me asked, "Well, how much do they cost? $200?" He coolly answered, "Nope. $10."
Thinking to myself, there's no way these are that special if they are only $10. But they frakkin' are.
Take a look at these: Maxwell 2600 Farad 2.5VDC Boostcap-The Electronic Goldmine
They are 2.5V, 2600 FARADs. Not milifarads, FARADS. They can store 8.6kJ of energy, which is about half that of an AA battery, it's frakkin' rechargeable, and it can dump it's energy faster than any other energy storage device out there.
Not exactly sure what to do with it yet because blow crap up with huge current discharges... but how amazing would it be to discharge 2600 AMPS for 2.6 seconds? That's enough current and voltage to power probably somewhere around a thousand 445s at 1.3A for 2.6 seconds.
Isn't that frakkin' incredible?
