Hello

Does anybody know more about it? This battery would be really good for us.

My bet, they are scam artists looking for funding from dumber scam artists like GM and the US Government

Aren't you a moderator?

That "dumber scam artist" keeps you safe at night.

There is another huge issue with capacitance storage, that I'm surprised the article doesn't mention. Capacitors store potential. More energy is stored as more potential...ie voltage. So a Ultra-capacitor is also an ultra high voltage device. When you discharge them you need to be able to convert this ultra high voltage to a useable level. You also have one Ultra dangerous device capable of giving 10,000 volt shocks. The rule is "current kills" but voltage gives it the ability to do so.

I am familiar with this device. It was first called the "flux capacitor" invented by dr. brown and first seen in "back to the future".

Red doesn't mean GM he meant to say GE.

Where could you find a charger capable of the 1.2 "GIGAWATTS" to charge it?

I know you are both being silly, with the "flux capacitor" but you actually touch on another good point. How do you create the super high voltages required? Can it be done efficiently?....safely? The whole "catch a lightning bolt" thing isn't going to be real practical.
