They call it an electric turbocharger
It sure seems to have a lot more in common with a supercharger. What do you think? 50 years ago I tried a similar project on my Briggs and Stratton home built mini bike. I never did get all t...

The problem with large capacitors, any capacitor, is that they dump all of their
energy at once *NOW*...likewise absorption or charge...they take it ALL NOW
For a stereo amp, it is exactly what you want/need
For an automotive motor, you want to control the rate of discharge (giving it
to the motor) and the rate it charges (takes it in)
Turn it on a motor and it will +100% throttle (that + is dependent on the motor
rated voltage vs what the capacitor battery can provide). That + means
that if the voltage provided is more than the motor is rated for, it
WILL go faster and have more power than it is rated for...but the duty
cycle will then drop off a cliff...
To regenerate...it want is ALL NOW and will skid the tires
The controllers for capacitor batteries is one tough controller to design and
most likely EXPENSIVE
The key is the ability to very, very quickly turn on/off and vary the voltage
going out/in at very high current levels ***SMOOOOOTHLY***
Turtle, thanks...guess the laws of physics hasn't changed... :B
