There has to be some serious limitation to this solution right? I mean if both you and I can't find anything online demonstrating that other people have tried this (ultracapacitor SEPIC setup), then something is up. Can these SEPIC converters be made to be user customizable (I.E provide variable...
Im no expert on the matter, but I think you might be misinterpreting what a holon and spinon actually are. According to Wikipedia they are quasiparticles. Quasiparticles and particles are not the same thing. The electron is still thought to be a fundamental particle (cannot be divided)...
No one knows exactly what dark matter is composed of yet (or more accurately if it even exists). They think it could be unaccounted for black holes, an undiscovered type of particle, neutrinos, etc. Its only even posited to exist because of an anomaly in the way galaxies revolve (...
Thanks Bob. Any idea where I could find some examples of people using a SEPIC converter with an ultracapacitor or supercap as the source? A quick google search doesn't yield much. I can find plenty about the SEPIC converter, but little about its use with a capacitor as the source.
I understand that capacitors are still well behind batteries in terms of energy density. My question was not whether or not a capacitor could compete with batteries; it was how to discharge a capacitor in a similar way to a battery.
Discharging a capacitor at a "battery like" rate
We all know that capacitors discharge at a rate determine by the time constant of the circuit they are hooked up to (tau = RC). This discharge takes the form of a "dieing exponential" with respect to stored energy and likewise voltage. Capacitors...
