also they have stated they want a sub 7 second bike (1/4 mile), comparable to the rocket. The rocket has a 14.kwh pack that makes about 1 megawatt for 7 seconds or thereabouts, and weighs 250 pounds. Basic physics would mandate that replacing the batteries with capacitors (and any necessary converters) and expecting the same performance would require that the energy output at that power level divided by the weight of the energy source (batteries vs caps and converters), needs to be equal.
I recon the caps alone weigh 541 pounds, and 1000hp is %25 less than 1MW. So already the energy source is over twice as heavy and less powerful than the current NEDRA leaders packs, and 28F really sounds like it is gonna come up short, but I haven't dug into the farads required much (seemed pointless given all the other red flags).
F=M*A
edit, I'll see if I can do an ltspice simulation of 28F @600v putting out 1000hp (even though it needs to put out more than 2MW for 7 seconds to be competitive on a density basis)
