YUNASKO is a rapidly growing hi-tech start-up specializing in research, development and production of ultracapacitors. Ultracapacitors (UCs), also known by name of Supercapacitors or Electrochemical Double Layer Capacitors (EDLC), represent a family of energy storage devices demonstrating extremely high specific power characteristics which outperform any known type of batteries, such as lead-acid, Li-ion, NiMH etc. In the same time, they can store quite high values of specific energy, greater than conventional capacitors. UCs can be used as a stand-alone system or in a combination with batteries. In the latter case, UCs substantially increase the battery efficiency and operation life. Some of the main market applications for UCs include: - Transport (kinetic energy recuperation systems and start-stop systems in hybrid vehicles); - Industry (cranes, forklifts, welding machines); - Energy Supply and Alternative Energy (power grids, UPS, wind-mills etc); - Consumer electronics (hand tools, flash lights etc). Presently, YUNASKO ultracapacitors possess world-best specific characteristics in terms of power and energy, leaving far behind its closest competitors. At this point, YUNASKO is working hard towards increasing its production capabilities and entering the global market of UCs in 2012-2013.
