INTRODUCTION
What is a Ultra capacitor?
A charge storing device(Capacitor) .
Differ in constructional features with respect to
simple capacitors.
Has ability to store tremendous charge.
Capacitance ranges up to 5000F!
Also called Super capacitor or Double-layered
capacitor.
ATTRACTIVE FEATURES
Capacitance ranges to 5000 F.
No chemical reaction involved.
Much more effective at rapid, regenerative energy
storage than chemical batteries .
Works even at low temperatures -40 degrees Celsius.
Ultra capacitors can store 5 percent as much energy as
a modern lithium-ion battery.
Can effectively fulfil the requirement of High current
pulses that can kill a battery if used instead.
ADVANTAGES TO CONVENTIONAL
ENERGY STORING DEVICES.
Batteries:
Degrade within a few thousand charge-discharge cycles.
Ulracapacitors can have more than 300 000 charging cycles,
which is far more than a battery can handle.
Ultra capacitor charges within seconds whereas batteries
takes hrs.
Because no chemical reaction is involved, ultra capacitors--
also known as super capacitors and double-layer capacitors--
are much more effective at rapid, regenerative energy storage
than chemical batteries are.
Batteries fail where high charging discharging takes place
whereas ultra capacitor fares extremely well.
Ordinary Capacitors:
Higher capacitance.
Put two ordinary capacitors the size of a D-cell battery
in your flashlight, each charged to 1.5 volts, and the bulb
will go out in less than a second, if it lights at all. An
ultra capacitor of the same size, however, has a
capacitance of about 350 farads and could light the bulb
for about 2 minutes.
Ultra Capacitors are Expensive.
INSIDE A SUPER CAPACITOR
Two Electrodes coated with sponge like activated carbon.
Electrolyte :Contains free mobile ions .
Porous Separator-:Prevents electrodes from shorting out.
