I guess this technology is “Sponge-worthy”.

The “holy grail”: a lightweight ultracapacitor, a few cubic feet in size, able to run an electric car several hundred miles and recharge in a few minutes.
One problem with ultracapacitors: propensity to instant discharge if possible. Safety is a huge issue when capable of dumping 100kW/h thru someone in a millisecond.

If it has a reaction using electrolyte, It is a battery.
It may still be useful.

capable of dumping 100kW/h thru someone in a millisecond.That's getting the short end of the stick. Resistance would be futile.
And yes, I've got no shortage of horrible puns. I should be grounded for it.

It’s SO dangerous that even being deep underwater doesn’t stop the flames.

If it has a reaction using electrolyte, It is a battery. You sure?

I can`t comment on this as I am super-incapacitated at the moment.
