Baked Seaweed Capacitors

Posted Fri Aug 4, 2006, 5:41 AM ET

French researchers have constructed "supercapacitors" from burnt-to-a-crisp seaweed.

Ayre's Charlie Hansen prefers "organic" components whenever possible. Wonder if Ayre will be the first high-end manufacturer to give them a go?

"The French team cooked alginate in an air-free enclosure, turning it into a black powder. They then combined this with a polymer binder to make a hard material, which they shaped into electrodes for supercapacitors."

I don't imagine we'll see "Ayre-free" or "Ayre-ated" in any company literature.
