Supercapacitor-Powered Electric Wind-Up Plane We have all seen old rubber band wind-up planes built by crazy makers. Tom Stanton, a youtuber, just turned one into a 21st century electric wind-up plane powered by a supercapacitor. He is an engineer and a maker who loves to mix physics, 3D printing and clean energy storage. Instead of winding up a rubber band, he used his hand crank generator to charge a supercapacitor. This stored energy… |
