minus-squaredeaf_fish@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·4 months 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-squareMeowZedong@lemmygrad.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·4 months agoI think we have more pressing issues in certain airplanes at the moment, but that’s a good point.
minus-squarefilcuk@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up0·4 months agoCan’t blow up the plane if it falls apart first
minus-squareTBi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·4 months agoYeah. Good thing we don’t fill up planes with flammable material today! /s

We already do with resistors.
And fuses and breakers
Yeah. Good thing we don’t fill up planes with flammable material today!
