Dr. Burke(pioneer of the modern hybrid car) shows us some different types of supercapacitors that he is testing in his battery lab. Some rated at 3000 farads, 400 volts. spiral wound and prismatic. These capacitors store huge amounts of energy can can be used in place of, or in conjunction with batteries. They can be used to help start diesel engines in the cold as well as many other uses. He is testing them in his lab at U.C. Davis.
