minus-squaredeaf_fishlinkfedilink0•1 year 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-square@MeowZedong@lemmygrad.mllinkfedilink0•1 year agoI think we have more pressing issues in certain airplanes at the moment, but that’s a good point.
minus-square@TBi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink0•1 year agoYeah. Good thing we don’t fill up planes with flammable material today! /s

Can’t blow up the plane if it falls apart first
We already do with resistors.
And fuses and breakers
Yeah. Good thing we don’t fill up planes with flammable material today!
