Supercaps are small battery like components. You connect them to power, they soak up some and then you can connect them to other devices. They don't store lots of power, but enough to run a simple motor for a couple of minutes maybe.
I am presently writing 4 units of work for The University Of The First Age based in Birmingham but actually countrywide in their influence. I needed a way to simply join super capacitors to motors etc. and have come up with this idea using the 'magnetic connectors' sold by www.mutr.co.uk and combining them with the standard 10 Amp electrical connecor blocks
It means you cannot (If wired correctly) connect the wires the wrong way round (Their Polarity) which means less chance of damaging these useful but expensive (£4 each) components!
