    I am building a power-bank for a project, out of capacitors

    unfortunately, my school is a bit weird I have 2 months for research and 5 months for building the power-bank and I am lazy, I wasted most of my research time I will do more research before posting

    I am building a power-bank for a project, out of capacitors

    I see, it seems that my knowledge is quite weak Although that is to be expected, I am still in high school and have yet to learn about capacitors in my school At least I have a few months to build the power bank (before you ask, if you haven't learned about caps, then why are you building a...

    I am building a power-bank for a project, out of capacitors

    The planned maximum voltage for charging the power-bank is 1.5volts (I am going to use resistors to ensure that the voltage does not go higher than this) For discharging, The load can handle discharges of upto about 200 volts Can you please elaborate on the safety issues part? Price is not an...

    I am building a power-bank for a project, out of capacitors

    Since I am making a power bank, I would want to store energy Quick discharge would not be a problem if my laptop, or an ordinary household device with batteries that can be plugged into mains power can handle the voltage/current I guess one problem is that I don't know how quick the capacitors...

    I am building a power-bank for a project, out of capacitors

    Homework Statement [/B] I want to build a power bank capable of holding 10,000 joules of energy, is portable (can fit in a palm and is lighter than 1kg) and safe (does not short circuit, break down or catch fire easily) I cannot use batteries, only super capacitors What are some problems that...
