Re: Auto-Charged Super Capacitor Technology

I have been thinking along these lines for many years now, but I was not waving it around, because I thought @ some point I might be able to exploit the idea. As I have come to find out in the years following my initial idea to do this; it had already been done before!! Now, why it never took off an...

Battery options

Wes, this post is a response to some posts over on SCi about mag racing in general, Pro's and COn's and different general concerns.
