UltraCapacitor Car
:
Build a high performance electric car that runs without a battery!
The kit contains a 7 farad ultracapacitor, motor, wires, car base, car body, decals, wheels, axles, gears, washers and battery band. Using an ultracapacitor instead of a battery, your car can accelerate almost instantly to race-car speeds. Ultra capacitors can be charged very quickly and be recharged 100,000s of times without wearing out. The energy density of
ultracapacitors, also called supercapacitors
, may be approaching that of lithium batteries. Stay tuned.
When fully charged these cars are high speed and will even bounce off walls
. To hold them together under such conditions, you might want to apply a strong glue, not provided in the kit.
