Re. the list. An obscure but mildly interesting one is Yo-Mobile[1]. It
was a project funded by Russian oligarch Mikhail Prokhorov, of Brooklyn
Nets fame. Prokhorov claimed that his engineers have developed
a revolutionary supercapacitor technology, which will put any Li-Ion
battery to shame. When Prokhorov later revealed that he was running for
President Of Russia in 2012, a lot of people started thinking that
Yo-Mobile was a publicity stunt from the very beginning. Prokhorov,
rater predictably, lost the election (third place, less than 8 % of
votes). Yo-Mobile was sold to the Russian Government for €1 (one
Euro) and apparently abandoned later.
