minus-squaredeaf_fish@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoI wonder if we will get to a point where capacitor batteries will be too good. Can you image a small issue leading to an entire instantaneous energy dump of a large capacity capacitor while on an airplane? Make me wonder if we will limit how fast a capacitor can discharge in some consumer goods.

We already do with resistors.
And fuses and breakers
