A capacitor is two plates of metal with something shoved in between them. When you put a voltage across the two ends, an electric field is created, which stores energy. Remove the voltage and the field gets turned in to electrical energy until depleted.]]>Jul 21st 2007 4:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nc-state-researchers-working-up-longevous-capacitors/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nc-state-researchers-working-up-longevous-capacitors/Jul 21st 2007 4:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nc-state-researchers-working-up-longevous-capacitors/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nc-state-researchers-working-up-longevous-capacitors/Jul 21st 2007 10:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nc-state-researchers-working-up-longevous-capacitors/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nc-state-researchers-working-up-longevous-capacitors/Prius type hybrids that are boring wont jive with BMW's handling and performance requirements. ]]>Jul 21st 2007 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nc-state-researchers-working-up-longevous-capacitors/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nc-state-researchers-working-up-longevous-capacitors/Jul 21st 2007 2:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nc-state-researchers-working-up-longevous-capacitors/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nc-state-researchers-working-up-longevous-capacitors/Jul 21st 2007 2:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nc-state-researchers-working-up-longevous-capacitors/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nc-state-researchers-working-up-longevous-capacitors/Jul 21st 2007 9:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nc-state-researchers-working-up-longevous-capacitors/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nc-state-researchers-working-up-longevous-capacitors/http://www.energy.gov/news/4503.htm

I think Engadget knows electric cars have had good acceleration for years (besides your link showing one super-fast electric car), but I just want to be sure readers know that electric cars accelerate fine. You'd think Vivek Ranjan would know that too!]]>Jul 21st 2007 10:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nc-state-researchers-working-up-longevous-capacitors/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nc-state-researchers-working-up-longevous-capacitors/http://www.kickngas.org , this type of tech advance gives me hope for the next gen EV's. Since capacitors can charge up almost immediately, the use of them would knock one more negative from plausible EV use for consumers....now, what about the range?...]]>Jul 21st 2007 10:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nc-state-researchers-working-up-longevous-capacitors/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nc-state-researchers-working-up-longevous-capacitors/Jul 21st 2007 10:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nc-state-researchers-working-up-longevous-capacitors/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nc-state-researchers-working-up-longevous-capacitors/Jul 21st 2007 10:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nc-state-researchers-working-up-longevous-capacitors/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nc-state-researchers-working-up-longevous-capacitors/Jul 21st 2007 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nc-state-researchers-working-up-longevous-capacitors/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nc-state-researchers-working-up-longevous-capacitors/Jul 21st 2007 9:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nc-state-researchers-working-up-longevous-capacitors/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nc-state-researchers-working-up-longevous-capacitors/http://www.strategicpolymers.com/]]>Jul 26th 2007 8:34PM
