Technically speaking, according to Dr. Stiffler & WikiPedia, a supercapacitor is just another name for ultracapacitor. Wikipedia states, "Electric double-layer capacitors, also known as supercapacitors, electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs), or ultracapacitors"

Yes we have been using those 2 terms synonymously for a while now here.  Gadget's boost cap is something different than a supercap or an ultracap which are trade names by different manufacturers.  The bcap, like I have, has electrolyte inside like a battery but it is like a supercap also in the way it can be charged quickly and in the way it can deliver the energy.

I hope folks understand the difference.  I may have added to the confusion because in all of my videos, I keep referring to the bcap as a supercap, and I called all of my other supercaps supercaps.

Hi Bill
Can you clarify for us all exactly the boost cap Gadget's OU circuit is using, I seem to remember it's made by Maxwell

Here is some inspiration for a pulse heater. Boiling water with ultracaps in 20 seconds.

Thank you DeamthinkBuild . /
I have the Ou controler 3/4 made waiting on a few parts , I'll post the picture in the advanced thread . also here is a nice video of someone trying to charge two up and smoking his charger and burning wire wire video

@all

Wow , the jt is quite popular these day , but there are too many clowns around , lets not turn it into a circus...

Now the jt has nothing to do with the OU claims , its all about the cap ...

They may even even stop making those caps a company can be bought off anytime ...

I feel they made a mistake making those ... Good for us !

Now to conclude , for the same amp values you can do more with low amp high voltage then low voltage high amp.

High voltage doesn't act the same way low voltage dose , for charging a cap i prefer hv ...

Just think will a spark gap work on LowV...
