A REVOLUTIONARY new product that, quite literally, puts the future of power storage in the palm of your hand will soon be launched by a North Yorkshire entrepreneur.
Howard Atkin, of Harrogate, has developed his own solution to energy storage - a patented high- voltage electrochemical supercapacitor, which he believes has the potential to revolutionise power storage.
Supporting his multi-million pound prospect, has been Roger Benson, of Business Link York and North Yorkshire, and the University of Central Lancashire.
Howard, founder of ADD Power, of Park Edge, Harrogate, claims that his supercapacitor - which is roughly the same size as a battery - can store five times as much power as existing capacitors.
Howard is already in talks with potential customers about commercial applications for the product. He said: "Roger really helped me to focus and distil the key information into a succinct format to present to potential backers."
