    Beyond batteries: Storing power in a sheet of paper

    Beyond batteries: Storing power in a sheet of paper
    http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2007-08/rpi-bbs080907.php
    Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute researchers have developed a new energy storage device that could be mistaken for a simple sheet of paper. The nanoengineered battery is lightweight, flexible and geared toward meeting the design requirements of tomorrow's electronics and implantable medical equipment. The device withstands extreme temperatures, is completely integrated, can be printed like paper, and can function as both a battery and a supercapacitor. It can also be partly powered by human blood or sweat.

    This tech has nothing short of enormous potential; environmentally and for cars, spacecraft and electronic devices.

    These work like a combination of battery and supercapacitor; fast charging while still capable of delivering sustained output. Now charging an electric cars battery takes hours, but with this it could be down to minutes; basically the time it takes to gas up.

    That you could incorporate the battery into the vehicles body structure is sauce for the goose.
