Capacitors: Battery of the Future
| Division: | Engineering & Computing Sciences | | Category: | Intermediate | | Region: | Windsor | | City: | Windsor, ON | | School: | F.J. Brennan High School | | Abstract: | It is a commonly held opinion that capacitors discharge too rapidly to ever become a useful energy source. I have designed a device that allows for steady discharge of a capacitor so it can power various electronic devices for several hours. Such a battery can be recharged in minutes. |
