APPARATUS WITH ELECTRIC ELEMENT SOURCED BY A CAPACITIVE CERAMIC-BASED ELECTRICAL ENERGY STORAGE UNIT (EESU) WITH STORAGE CHARGING FROM ON-BOARD ELECTRICAL ENERGY GENERATION AND EXTERNAL INTERFACE

摘要

Within an apparatus (20), a power storage unit comprising a capacitive ceramic-based electrical energy storage unit (EESU) (100) is capable of supplying electrical energy to an electrical energy using element (30) such as a light, a display, an electrical or electronic component or circuit, a motor, or an electro-mechanical component. The EESU (100) power storage unit in the apparatus is rechargeable and an EESU charging interface (110) is capable of charging the EESU (100) with electrical energy from either an external power interface (114) or one or more on-board electrical energy sources (140).
