So wait ... we need something that can rapidly absorb power, and rapidly disperse power. And the criticism is that this can explode ? An explosion is simply rapidly dumping energy in something that's a gas or about to become a gas. Not that other forms of rapidly dumping power are any less damaging, btw.
So, yes, they can explode. That's actually pretty much the point.
- jsight 7y agoOne of the primary arguments that I hear for them is how much safer they are than Lithium Ion batteries. Being able to explode (even if this is actually unlikely) greatly weakens that purported advantage. (I do not believe this will actually be a primary impediment to adoption of either Lithium Ion or Super Capacitors)

- ben_w 7y agoThat definition of “explosion” also includes correctly functioning rockets. Are you sure it’s a useful definition?
