The air force needs high power density reserve batteries for airborne applications which must provide pulses of power at rates of over 10,000 w/# during a lifetime of 300 seconds. an average power density requirement of 50 wh/# makes this a challenging task. small silver-zinc batteries have been… More

The military services are in constant need of improvements in performance of all types of batteries. normally, these improvements come in the form of small evolutionary changes in production methods and materials, and occasionally as a stepwise change due to use of a new basic material. the present… More

This proposal describes an innovative concept for electronic capacitors that allows energy storage densities 1,000 to 100,000 times those of state-of-the-art capacitors. such densities, used in conjunction with microelectronic technologies, would allow complete power supplies to be contained on… More
