ultracapacitor flashlight

[willk]

Here's an interesting flashlight that claims a 90 second charge will power it for 23.5 hours over a 24 hour time period. (the 90 seconds fills the remaining time in the 24 hours)

WHOOOoa ... $169.95 It looks really neat, but I think I'll wait for the price to come down!

So, that is the second Ultracap product I've seen - others anyone?

The first was a Coleman Ultracap screwdriver - don't recall the price, but seems to me it was reasonable.

The battery lasts a lifetime but now rather than changing the batteries we have to change the rest of the flashlight. Can you imagine what the first Utracap car is going to cost. That vehicle won't be for the common man either. A $170.00 flashlight............. just another rich man's toy. Very neat technology.
