Synopsis

Solar Supercapacitor Applications is a collection of practical, hands-on projects that explore the niche areas where supercapacitors, photovoltaics and battery technology come together to produce the best results for energy efficiency, cost, reliability and longevity.Detailed illustrated projects include:Design, build and integrate a supercapacitor bank into a photo-voltaic battery power system.Build photovoltaic panels specifically for supercapacitors.Build and configure solar supercapacitor power supplies.Build a wireless ignition system for rockets; a spot and seam welder for metal foils; and an LED desk lamp, all powered by solar supercapacitors.Apply simple photovoltaic supercapacitor power supplies to existing devices, such as lasers, high voltage power supplies, and a gasifier camping stove.Also briefly discussed are using solar supercapacitor power supplies to run motors, thermoelectric modules, shape memory alloys, Nichrome heating wire, and solar hydrogen fuel cell systems; and building a kit foam airplane powered by supercapacitors.Solar Supercapacitor Applications has more than 500 black and white photos and illustrations that make the projects easy to follow.
