Automotive DesignLine reports on a hybrid bus design by ISE Corporation which incorporates ultra capacitors. What are these ultra capacitors, and why are they needed in a hybrid vehicle?

Kia is reportedly considering the use of ultra-capacitors to store electrical energy in the next generation version of its fuel cell vehicle. Ultra caps have an advantage over batteries in that ...

The key selling point of capacitors, either of the super- or ultra- variety, is the much shorter charge and discharge rates. Where a supercapacitor can be used to weld metal by simply shorting the ...

It just hasn't been practical before because the very smallest capacitors have previously stored so little energy. But the ...

HyCap series capacitors shall be comprised of sintered tantalum anodes and ruthenium oxide coated cathodes operating in aqueous electrolyte. The components shall be ...

A very recent development is a hybrid supercapacitor, which has a capacitor-type titanium carbide-based negative electrode and a battery-type graphene-hybrid positive electrode. The novel energy ...

Some devices bolt into place while others require or include mounting brackets. Pole-mounted capacitors are also available. Surface mount technology (SMT) adds ultracapacitors to a printed circuit ...
