Super Capacitors

• These are capacitors with very high storage capability, usually 1F or more.

• My hope/intention is to figure out some way to use them as a mini-UPS for small Arduino projects,
  to protect them from power glitches.

• charge held by a capacitor:
  Q = C * V = farad * volts

• Energy stored:
  E_joules = ( C * V²) / 2

  joules = watt-sec = (approx) 2.78 x 10^-7 kW-hr
