IF there is a future for electric vehicles, that future lies with super capacitors and not batteries.

I wonder if the slow discharge capacitor is possible, especially for long periods of time

That’s a pretty serious charge. I see you’re up on your current events.

What about the Bonneville Salt Flats then?

We need an Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator.

If little short trip clean city cars were needed, why not natural gas burners?

It works great for fork lifts in enclosed warehouses, some people even like the smell.

Saw their exhibit at the Washington DC Auto Show. They may have the answer.

That you would resort to such puns is shocking.

---

The salt surface contains potassium, magnesium lithium and sodium chloride (common table salt).

The Bonneville Salt Flats is administered by the Bureau of Land Management for public use and enjoyment. Due to its unique geology, history, and scenic beauty, the Bonneville Salt Flats was designated an Area of Critical Environmental Concern in 1985

Now put on your thinking cap to determine the answer..........

If they are looking to use the same lithium battery that my camera uses, they may want to improve its cold temperature operation.

There was a thread on FR recently where everyone was blowing off as old news an article about capacitor paper. I wonder if *that* was the big deal about the capacitor paper?

Its more than that - it is positively electrifying!

Puns tend to spark my interest, but they run into resistance among the more insulated members of the literary circuit.

They always react negatively. But there definitely is a current on this thread that has generated interest in the subject.
