mmmm....
12V/2.5V ~ 5 Ultracaps in series.
5 Ultracaps * $30.00 = $150.00.... about the cost of a car battery.
10Farads/5 = 2Farads..
Isn't it something like 100Amps applied for about 1 second to start a
car...??

actaually inrush is a peak of 400 -600 amps and you need to allow for a
10-second start. plus a 10 -second start cannot deppltete the entire
super cap stack, several cycles needed.
also, the capacitor stack once charged should aintain charge for at
least 5 10 second starts after a period od 10 days storage. this tets
leakage.
had this bugger in a ford and removed the alternator, too! instead a
small hydrogen fuel cell prvoided enrgy for electrcial equipment, by
tapping a small aount of hydrogen from the fual burnging path. An
amazing anf fun, funded transpost of tommorow project. right here in las
vegas, nevada.
we have a few hydroen fuel and plugin electric hybrid, transpiors too.
once we add the hybrid the vehicles always go way faster, cleaner etc.
super cpas have come a long way from the 1uA back up cells (stil a good
thing) to cells that can spource 100s of amps... hapy charging
