Comment Comment by pejoculant There most certainly are capacitors available that meet his specs without being unreasonably large. For example this one has a capacitance of 1200F and is only 8 cm long: http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Ioxus/RSC2R7128LR/?qs=cf...Modeling it as a parallel plate capacitor with a mica dielectric is basically totally ignoring the part about it being a supercapacitor. He may as well have been seeing if it would be feasible to get to the moon using a wood fired rocket. parent pejoculant 13 years ago
