element14 Community launches Experimenting with Supercapacitors Design Challenge

element14, an Avnet Community, recently launched its Experimenting with Supercapacitors Design Challenge. This unique competition provides participants with the opportunity to explore the potential of Cornell Dubilier’s supercapacitors and compete for some exciting prizes.

Supercapacitors, also known as ultracapacitors and electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs), are advanced capacitors with significantly higher capacitance values than traditional capacitors. These high-capacity energy storage and delivery devices offer rapid and reliable bursts of power, making them ideal for various applications.

From wind turbines and mass transit to hybrid/EV vehicles, consumer electronics, energy harvesting devices, and industrial equipment, supercapacitors have become a key component in revolutionizing energy storage and extending battery life. With their ability to deliver millions of duty cycles, even in demanding conditions, supercapacitors provide cost-effective alternatives to traditional batteries or supplementary power sources.

Applications for the Experimenting with Supercapacitors Design Challenge are now open and will continue until July 17. The selected participants will be announced on July 19, and the experimenting period of the challenge will officially commence on July 20. Winners will be announced in September 2023.
