I did not know that they sold for a dollar a farad. The large 2700 farad capacitors (coke can size) only have about the same energy as an AA battery. The difference is 160 2700 farad ultracaps have been used to power a dragster in a quarter. The current price has dropped to one cent a farad and they say in large orders they will soon be one / half cent a farad. That means the 160 ultracapacitors used to power the dragster have dropped from a price of $432,000. dollars to $4,320.dollars. and soon, if not now will be $ 2,160. dollars for the same 160 Ultracapacitors. Most people don’t need a dragster and space is an issue that BMW has solved with their x5 Hybrid that will burn rubber on all 4 tires after it reaches 60 miles per hour. Hybrids are a dream that I have been dreaming since 2000. Ultracaps. could have a larger share and not totally replace batteries. I think firefly batteries and ultracaps will be the final solution for hybrids.chaindropzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08362585322848487942noreply@blogger.com
