I have my doubts about w-hrs/kg.
Super Capacitors = Batteries?

Engineering is the art of making what you want from what you can get at a profit.

I know the MIT patents showed real promise for energy density... of course they also arranged the nanotubes like hairs on the surface of a very small sample and extrapolated the implications.
If the Graphine layers can be separated just enough to allow the electrons to populate the boundary, instead of "Seeing" a block of carbon, it would seem to make sense.

I saw an article yesterday talking about using car body panels as batteries along the idea of a Capacitor. If this is the same tech, I apoligise, I have not read the link yet. Apprently they are going to try the spare tire pan in the boot first.
My curiousity has me wondering if/when they progress to body panels, what will happen when it is fully charged and you have a fender bender?
Hmmm.
I seem to remember somebody using solar panels and cpacitors to run RC Cars as well.
