Penn State Offers A New Ultra Capacitor Design

August 25, 2016 | 1 Comment

Penn State Materials Research Institute scientists have developed a polymer dielectric material with high energy density, high power density and excellent charge-discharge efficiency for electric and hybrid vehicle use. The key is a unique three-dimensional sandwich-like structure that protects the dense electric field in the polymer/ceramic composite from dielectric breakdown. The team’s results have been […]

EEStor Lives!

February 11, 2013 | 6 Comments

Now two weeks out from a press release EEStor has met the goal of getting under the radar of the media.  A quick look at Google News finds almost nothing.  Still, the stockholders of Canada’s Zenn Motors are thrilled.  Zenn is a “hibernating” company now, as its electric car building has long since ceased.  The […]

EEStor Makes a Little Bit of News

March 29, 2012 | 4 Comments

The Bariumtitanate.blogspot, which is a close observer of the EEStory as they’re calling it over there, found a bit of news on the EEStor saga. Zenn, the motorcar company that took off thinking that the EEStor ultra capacitor was coming soon survives with essentially nothing for sale of note.  But the capital base has a […]

A Real Ultra Capacitor Discovery

February 27, 2012 | 2 Comments

With EEStor out of sight and supposedly over, new research with very striking potential is coming.  North Carolina State University researchers led by physicist Dr. Vivek Ranjan have discovered the means by which a polymer known as PVDF enables capacitors to store and release large amounts of energy quickly.  Understanding leads to exploitation. Ranjan previously […]
