The Difference Between Capacitors Supercapacitors And Batteries

[GigsTaggart]

Heh I clicked on this mostly to see how you'd handle the ambiguity at the edges. You went straight for the jugular on that issue. This is getting to the fundamentals of knowledge in a way that I wish more people would spend some time thinking critically about. Excellent instructional material.

I work in electronics and without a shadow of a doubt that's one of the best explanations of caps, super caps and batts I've ever heard. I really like the analogy with the balloon and the material it's made from... I might be nicking that as it's so accurate to explain caps from super caps in a nice simple manner people understand thank you 👍.

Can you imagine for a moment, the number of other YouTube videos one would need to sit through to piece together this much explanation. And it's all delivered here with such eloquence.

Great Job Rob !!! Your talks are my favorite part of your show. If you went on for an hour I'd be on the edge of my chair. You have a gift and your know how to use it. Bravo mate!

[surfingcuriositywaves]

The first three minutes of this video are a wonderfully concise presentation of a way of thinking that all of us can benefit from. As a teacher of economics, I greatly appreciate the promotion of thinking aids and understanding the limits of them (as you say, when it becomes error). Well done, and thank you for the delightful presentations.

Brilliant approach to the comprehension and classification of the phenomena! So pleased to have found this channel!

As a retired 76 year old engineer I thought I had a reasonable grasp of electronics but Robert has opened up my view of different ways of looking at things and how much there is to discover. Thanks

[shigatsuningen]

Dear Rob. It is not only a satisfying answer but also, when one thinks about it, a sincerely liberating answer leaving the whole field of exploration open to us all. Thank you.

You are very good at presenting ideas and discussion.

Thank you, I appreciate your explanation, and understand it!
I have spent a lot of time working with animals, horses in particular.
And an analogy, I used to be a little confused by one person who looked down on heavy horses, but they'd be throwing daft money at a thoroughbred...
I obviously learned very quickly, and I would never try to plough a field, or pull heavy equipment, with a thoroughbred....
Likewise, I'd not enter a race, on a Clydsdale....

One has an explosive energy release, but that's it. Whereas, the 2nd has great power, but its discharged at a slower pace.

Now, before I disappear down a certain rabbit - hole...
What I'm trying to say is Thank You!!
You are so good at explaining these things, even I am regaining my grasp on them!!
I was an apprentice aircraft engineer, with the WRAF, (showing my age, Lol!)
But, returned home, to look after my mother, I was Lucky enough to learn about Ham-Radio, from my Dad. As well as car maintenance, at College. And lots of other stuff too.
I am having to relearn a great deal, after a Traumatic head injury, so at least I am lucky enough, to have a passion and interest...
At the time of life, many folks are resting on their Laurels!!
Graphene, has my attention now, and I am saving up, to Join and to buy some things for experimentation!!
XxX.

In this episode of "YouTube is better than school"....

6 minutes in and i'm already impressed by your delivery and subbed to the channel.

[xcycvze]

Spot on! clear as crystal! Now I have even more questions, admire your show and efforts!

[gideonrl]

Having worked on this subject a few years now, largely resulting from your inspiration Rob, this is a a neat encapsulation of the difficulty with, 'defining the issue'. Thanks

[stevemileman]

Absolutely brilliant. Of interest to anyone, but specifically those not necessarily interested in energy storage problems. I rate Robert as one of the best speakers (and experts) I have listened to this year. He knows his subject. But that is not enough to keep him going. What does it all mean? Thanks, Rob. I want to add this, merely as an observation having watched many such videos, Rob explains something so fundamental that I am embarrassed for the other YouTubers who even attempt the subject. That is, to my mind, the gap, being inversely proportional to the capacitance, ceases to be of significance in the definition of what it is but becomes decisive as a definition of what it can no longer do.

[alicebingham]

This is fantastic, and a very good way to explain any number of things that dont have definite edges between two things

[codedesigns]

Thank you for helping to understand the grey-areas between these devices. 😊👍

[ThomasAndersonbsf]

watching this again, :) and the chair/stool/table transition discription is so apt for this, it really does seem to be a perfect example of what you are about to discuss about the differences of the traits and how many of these can be in any two or all three while the items are still in one of those three classifications,

What I like about it is that by defining the characteristics that fit in each and explaining how do to a lot of them, someone could use your explanations to make a custom blend of these for any one of a number of various uses each one different in needs and yet each version fits that need quite well even if it wont do the other things in the list that are so vastly different in demands XD. Thanks again on going back and clarifying some of these things, while I feel I should have the understanding for some reason much of these rabbit holes of info and ideas being so important were still places I completely missed.

[tinkmarshino]

I see things similar to yourself.. plus a bit more expanded when the need arises.. But what this video did was more tell us how you think and view your world. Making it a bit more clear when you explain things.. This was an excellent video Rob.. It help me to bring into focus the things you speak of and the way you speak of them.. Not that they were not clear before hand.. it is just that communication is such an important part of everyday life and folks seem to be forgetting this all the time.. I appreciate any one that tries to make that connection more plain.. Well done mate! carry on!

[ylluminate]

Rob, FANTASTIC video: great imagery, superior explanation and wonderful details + pertinent brief history! I have the same perception and need that you do essentially, so this video resonated very keenly. I've tried to explain this to others time and time again in a similar way - but never very successfully since I didn't use the "categorization" / "function" function. THANK YOU!
And yes, your remarks about loudness are spot on and it's a terrible challenge in this insane world and society today! :D

[brothernobody]

always saw a battery like a sponge full of water and the capacitor as a pitcher. i like your analogy much more.
