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.

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

Why use an uncontrolled dip?
Imagine 3d printing 2 materials with exact tolerances in a spongy configuration scaled to meet the specific capacitance need with a single optimized design.
