It came from the experience one gets when smoking crack. i.e. crystallized cocaine in the form of rocks that goes into a pipe... I thought crack was a common drug, but I guess not?
Hey, the capacitor thing, well From what I've learned, right now they have electrolytic capacitors that can hold up to 10 Farads, which is a crapload. The way they do it is they have the electrolyte, in between two panels of shavings or some other form of metal, that enables surface area to drastically increase because the charge uniformly distributes around the plate. So the nanotubes would work great. The only problem that they've seen with the electrolytic capacitors is current drain. If the drain is too high, the capacitor will destroy itself because it's inefficient at relieving charge in quick amounts. Maybe these nanotubes are a solution to that problem. Hope I could help.
