Ultracapacitors carbon tubes are ready for mass production

Latest ultracapacitors with millions of cycles of charge-discharge capacity and increased by the French firm Nawa already completely ready for mass production. Their use may actively contribute to the development of various industries, such as automobile and space industries, portable power tools, etc...

These ultracapacitors are positioned as a complement, and in some cases, and as a complete replacement of all of the usual lithium ion batteries. After all, when it comes to fast-charge discharge of these elements is simply no competition.

According to the data capacity of the capacitors still can not make a full competition of lithium ion batteries, but experts Nawa it managed to significantly increase. And now it is about 25% of the same volume of the lithium ion battery.

It would seem that quite a bit, but if you compare these figures with the competition parameters, the ultracapacitor from Nawa It has a capacity five times greater than those of competitors.

These ultracapacitors are ideal for fast discharge and charging (full charge time is 20 seconds), but here they are for long-term storage of the stored energy still unsuitable.

So, for one day in the self-discharge takes about 10% - 20% of the total capacity, but at the same time, as shown by tests, the product is easy to stand up to one million of charge-discharge cycles. A wide temperature corridor allows safely use ultracapacitors at least in the spacecraft, even in high temperature drilling machines.

The main production is concentrated in France, at the modern factory in the city of Aix-en-Provence. The design capacity is designed to produce up to 100,000 cells per month.

From the words of company representatives Nawa at the initial stage it is planned that ultracapacitors will be used in portable electric power tools and electric cars in storage.

But the most promising is the introduction of these products in the electric transport, which may well form a hybrid system in which the lithium-ion batteries will be responsible for prolonged load at moderate consumption and ultracapacitors are more efficiently collect energy from regenerative braking, as well as operate during peak loads.

Advances in technology do not stop and that today seems to us exotic, tomorrow will be quite ordinary and familiar. If you liked this article, then vote it Like. Thank you for your attention!
