Ohmic resistors are generally employed to limit the current when charging capacitors. This, however, is accompanied by technical risks. If, for example, the capacitor short circuits or the relay has a ...

There are many applications which require pulse power. The needed burst of energy is derived by rapidly discharging a previously charged capacitor. As the energy stored in a capacitor is equal to ...

There was a recent news item regarding a teenager's project to use a super capacitor as a quick-charging energy storage device. The primary claim is that this could be used to fully charge a phone in ...
