DirtyRob, show us one commercially functional of a capacitor performing household scale power storage. _______ ?
How about one laboratory brassboard of a capacitor performing household scale power storage. _______ ? Utility scale _______?
Until you know the advantages and disadvantages of components, you can flap your pie hole all you want, but it means nothing but a buzz in the wind.
My house inverter has a bank of ripple caps in it, but it also has to rely on batteries to function. Some EV's using regen braking use caps for the energy recovery.
The problem so far has been that while caps can store a lot of power, it's over such a broad voltage range, it's difficult to have a circuit harvest and extract power from such a wide range (50 - 0 volts)
It's possible for a little bluetooth gadget, but not for hundreds of watts for hours. Someday, it may happen, but not this year or next.
And the real criminal problem is some dreamer getting folks stirred up about some rotorless windmill (that harvests nearly no power) or friking solar roads that have no wiring infrastructure or way to clean the tire marks off of them (we can't even make cement that holds up to 10 years of truck traffic, yet we are converting rail lines to jogging paths.. Every idiot is looking at hydrogen for salvation, and they are going to be so angry when they learn in science class, that it cost more energy to break all that free hydrogen loose from the O2, than they hope to save by burning hydrogen.
But my pie hole (and many others) IS more valid than yours, when it comes to energy.
