Graphene Supercapacitors - "batteries" of the future -

This is the real deal. We are going to see some amazing breakthroughs in electric vehicles. 3 minute charge stops.....less time than it takes to fill up your car with gas. Wow!

That was very interesting. The folks at Energy and Capital have been writing articles about graphene for the last couple of years. Here is one of them:

The thing that really stood out for me was the fact that the substance is totally organic and will break down...batteries always pose a disposal problem.

The graphene supercapacitors can be made to any shape which means an automobiles body and frame can be the energy source to power a motor.

Thanks for sharing, tex. I've been googling ever since I woke up and saw your thread. I had never even heard of graphene until this. Didn't even know the two Rooskies were awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize for it.
Pretty amazing stuff to say the least.
