I have been travelling for the holiday and not able to do the next build thread installment. Included a 700 mile road trip from Vegas, NV to Mesa, AZ and a loop to the Grand Canyon. All in a weezer of a rental economy car. Never again will I do an economy car in that sense. But now settled in one place with not much to do, so I should be back at it shortly.

DIY, 'roll your own', Supercaps:
This is a rabbit hole I have not (yet) gone down, so
I have no idea how much truth/power density
there is in this.
But it is
intriguing in that they dont have to be rolled if you dont want and can be flat.
ie:
They could be made to be say a 6mm thick
tailored to fit, flat surface that covered the whole floor and trunk
of a vehicle.
Perhaps even thinner and stuck to the inside of the doors, hood etc.
Or they could be wrapped around various tubular chassis members etc.
DIY = Cheap!..?
So the rabbit hole becomes: Just how much truth is there in all the online DIY Supercap videos and pages etc?
Here are some unread links, just as an indication of how much "DIY Supercap" info is out there:

A flat Supercap?
This post could be kilometers long with Youtube videos, so do have a search yourselves.
