minus-squaredeaf_fish@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up19arrow-down6·6 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-squareantone715@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up18arrow-down2·6 months agoWe already do with resistors.
minus-squareTBi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·6 months agoYeah. Good thing we don’t fill up planes with flammable material today! /s

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