> Lamborghini also intends to make the supercapacitors out of carbon fiber panels that can be used to form the body of the car—so the Terzo Millennio draws energy from its own body. In other words: the car itself is the battery.
So does that mean that if you happen to have an accident, there is a chance that a good chunk of your battery gets short circuited? That sounds somewhat dangerous...
- sp332 9y agoYeah, and I bet that carbon fiber burns real nice.
- virmundi 9y agoDon’t forget that it’s functionally equivalent to asbestos when it come to inducing cancer in the lungs. It doesn’t break down. Little carbon fibers just sit there and disturb the lung lining.
- wastedhours 9y agoYep, buy a container of carbon nanotubes and you can't move for warnings about wearing a mask and wearing gloves. 5g of SWNTs, and about 5kg of paper with warnings on :)

- mtgx 9y agoThat car is like fire! ... literally.
- hwillis 9y agoSomething on the order of 300 Wh/1-2 MJ, yeah. It would cause a large fire or a small explosion. That's around equivalent to a couple hand grenades.
