Hybrid Supercapacitors for Implantable Energy Storage

Working with Symbiont Labs (Augmentation Limitless’ company based in Próspera) I did several designs and testing involving hybrid supercapacitors. With everything I learned I compiled this primer on the subject. Sharing here for information’s sake, all rights reserved for now. I’ll post it as a PDF and images.

Potentially looking into publishing in an IEEE journal. There’s a really nice selection of open access journals under their umbrella here:

I was specifically looking at “IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Letters” hosted by the SMC Society and it turns out they’re holding a large event in Borneo in October. I almost certainly won’t be able to make that, not least because of 16 hour layovers in Qatar and Kuala Lumpur :sweat_smile:

I always find the journal titles to be extremely vague but weirdly specific at the same time. Almost like someone is trying to describe something without using the actual words.

Had my eye on these for a few years now but they’re just available now. Best of both worlds.

The pressure vent cap and “ Extremely low possibility of rupture or ignition” are concerning to me

It would be interesting to see how an incident would affect an implant

But the possibility is extremely low :sweat_smile:

In all the applications I’m considering for these they’ll be in a hermetically sealed titanium enclosure with argon as a buffer gas in some negative space to elastically absorb any gas generation. I’m working with Rich Lee on the Lovetron and In the future Symbiont Labs on a pulse light and a stethoscope implant which will likely need batteries for continuous monitoring. I have very little concern that these will be an issue and we’ll be stress testing them thoroughly with an independently NFC powered temperature and pressure sensor built in to give us feedback data.

Very cool stuff
