IMO, EEStor is a huge short circuit waiting to happen until robustness is demonstrated. Pure vapourware, so far.

And FF is officially as mature a tech as AC/DC? (Either meaning.)

Clearly not! But the science is coherent; EEStor’s has some handwaving and possible unobtanium involved. Those coatings they’re counting on are so difficult and touchy that one might reasonably doubt they can be produced.

Speaking of capacitors, there’s a great new development in light capacitance: http://technology.newscientist.com/article/dn13771

The implication is that everything from MW thru IR thru visual to UV and — X-rays can be focused? Never been done, and it would be fantastic. Would make the Scanner a lot better and easier to put together, I’d think.
