  Quantum Tunnelling will deplete the capacitor

  I read in a comment elsewhere by a quantum physicist that given the extremely high electrical field (3,500 volts) and the extremely narrow insulation width (10 microns) that quantum tunnelling effects where electrons simply superpose through the insulation will render this capacitor useless.
  
  That is, the capacitor will quickly lose its charge, within minutes or seconds, and the 3,500 volts will drop to something reasonable like 350 volts.  As the energy stored is square of the voltage, that means it will lose 99% of its capacity in no time.
  
  Not only EESTOR has not responded to such critiques, but they have not even produced one sample capacitor prototype.
  
  It is notorious how chemists and material scientists are generally ignorant about limiting quantum probabilistic events.
  
  Being an entrepreneur, let me just say that there is a large hype oriented industry that keeps hot stocks afloat to the pleasure of many early investors and promoters.

    Re no example cap.
    
    You know this because you are an investor.  What reason would they have to show us anything at this point in time? 
    
    Stock price manipulation?  What stock?  I'd like to know please inform us.

  In Defense of Skeptics

  Biosubs, etc
  
  It is amusing how you can castigate the science based skepticism, but insist on the opposite extreme of blind faith.
  
  Wouldn't any intelligent discussion want to know just how far afield a technology is? Isn't that how science works?
  
  And then there are the conspiracy theorists, and the "Big Oil" concerns.
  
  Amazing, just amazing, and on an MIT base site.

  CNT-Battery

  MBT also has a battery that can charge in less than 10 min. The CNT battery is probably the battery that all cars will run in the future.

      Re: CNT-Battery

      Ok ok,heh, just havin alittle fun. Figured I would leave a sophistamakated comment, seeins hows this be a MIT thang and all. Basicly just poppin in to say "whatup crackers?".

        Re: CNT-Battery

        Well shizzal, I couldn't help myself, I gots to show you my goods, represent. If the deialectric is P= 23567 root of the conductivity squared, then by hyposafees it would seem to corralate that the conductivitee of the matierial would be statik, and likely not produce the needed wattage.(see V+2mS6 x the amprage). Just a thought my quaulity old school G's.

  dell battery

  I think new these new material will help build secure battery,but we must keep eye on environment effect. we still have long period to wait to solve today's battery problems.
  Dell had recalled those batteries
  Potentially affected batteries were sold with the following models of Dell notebook computers or separately as secondary batteries:
  
  * Latitude: D410, D500, D505, D510, D520, D600, D610, D620, D800, D810, D530, D620ATG
  * Inspiron: 500M, 510M, 600M, 700M, 710M, 6000, 6400, 8500, 8600, 9100, 9200, 9300, 9400, E1505, E1705
  * Precision: M20, M60, M70, M90
  * XPS: XPS, XPS Gen2, XPS M170, XPS M1710
