minus-squaredeaf_fishlinkfedilink14•4 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.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink12•4 months agoYeah. Good thing we don’t fill up planes with flammable material today! /s
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•4 months agoI think we have more pressing issues in certain airplanes at the moment, but that’s a good point.

We already do with resistors.
And fuses and breakers
Yeah. Good thing we don’t fill up planes with flammable material today!
