[ausev] Supercapacitors

[Michael Bonard]

Check this link for supercapacitors:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercapacitor#External_links

Supercapacitors do exist in low voltage versions (less than 10 volts) 
and are used in a few EV's for storing the power produced by 
regenerative braking. They are fairly expensive and bulky and do not 
hold much energy when compared to batteries.

For a Texas-based supercapacitor company, check the following:

The claims made by EESTOR seem so challenging that I would take them 
with a grain of salt.. I just wish they were true..
