Big news folks!
I was just looking around Google news to check the status of a few breakthroughs and I found this!

A newly-granted US patent (PDF) for the upcoming ultracapacitor technology from secretive Texas-based EEStor contains a ton of detailed information about their near-mythical Electrical Energy Storage Unit (EESU), which has the potential to revolutionize transportation and our energy infrastructure.
The source for that artcle seems to be http://gm-volt.com/... and the source of all the hubhub here. http://www.pat2pdf.org/...
This is the future folks. Maybe not EEstor but Ultracaps are the future. Having the power right there instead of stored in some chemical is key to being able to power huge devices long distances which is what is causing such a problem with transportation.
