RE: DARPA funds $1.7 million for new ultracapacitor
Hmmm. Capacitors are kind of silly for low amperage devices like
radios and whatnot. The primary military application of
ultracapacitors is to power rail guns. Current rail gun tech is aimed
at tanks, artillery and naval guns, but this news causes one to
wonder if man-portable rail guns might also be in the works....
