Aside from this product the newest, best, technology for super capacitors utilizes nanotubes but relies on a completely different approach. The big drawback to carbon nanotubes is the ability to mass produce them in a way where they end up in the right place... so far unfeasible. This product relies on a super insulator that electrons cannot bridge with titanium as the key element. Material scientists have tried similar compounds but without the claimed success of these guys.

The basic theory is to provide a material whose matrix is so stable that electrons will not "shed" under high voltage to be replaced by the negative electron source. Dielectrics do this to different degrees with silicon being the most common one used. High capacity (high energy density) devices require super insulators to avoid shorting and/or bleeding. All known materials have faulty spots which cause shorts under high voltage-close tolerance conditions. The key claim to this insulator is basically the ability to make the material at such a high level of purity and deposit it in such a uniform manner that shorts don't occur at claimed voltages and remains stable over useful temperature ranges.
