Abstract: A supercapacitor power unit electrically coupled to a load. The supercapacitor power unit comprises a supercapacitor bank and charging system comprising at least two supercapacitor cells and an electrical conductor. The electrical conductor couples in series at least two supercapacitors to form a supercapacitor bank. A supercapacitor bank separator circuit interrupts the conductor in a charge mode to form at least two supercapacitor bank parts. The two supercapacitor bank parts form a supercapacitor bank in a load mode when the bank separator circuit is closed. The system includes a supercapacitor charge system electrically coupled separately to each said at least two supercapacitor bank parts for charging each supercapacitor bank part. Using this configuration, a supercapacitor bank is fully recharged without need of expensive electronics to boost the voltage from a local charging system.

Abstract: A flexible braided wiring harness including a protective sleeve that separates a braided layer from a wire bundle such that the braided layer does not apply a compressive force to the wire bundle. Though the braided layer is tightly braided around the protective sleeve, the lack of compressive force on the wire bundle allows the individual wires of the wire bundle to slide relative to each other when the wiring harness bends. The freedom of the individual wires to slide relative to each other gives the wiring harness improved flexibility.
