The present invention relates generally to an electrical charge storage
device (ECSD) with enhanced power characteristics. More particularly, the
present invention relates to enhancing the current density, voltage
rating, power transfer characteristics, frequency response and charge
storage density of various devices, such as capacitors, batteries, fuel
cells and other electrical charge storage devices. For example, one
aspect of the present invention is solid state and electrolytic
capacitors where the conductor surface area is increased with smooth
structures, thereby reducing the distance separating the conductors, and
improving the effective dielectric characteristics by employing
construction techniques on atomic, molecular, and macroscopic levels.
