Funniest snake oil theories

This was possibly a statement on financial fear rather than medical fear

I worked with a number of doc specialists who enjoyed the use of fancy words (I fondly refer to such individuals as viaduct guys).
When they fckd up on the workfloor, which occured on a frequent basis, their regular routine was covering up in the most sneaky fashion and at expense of patient health.

I can recommend ones who worked for docs without borders in Africa for a few before hitting specialist mark.
They'll operate with a piece of string and a clothes hanger if necessary, but don't talk ladida and come with a guarantee of your survival.

Another exception is the compulsive obsessive perfectionist, and former professional soldier. (downside of those is that they're sadists who take great pleasure in inflicting physical pain to male patients who act squeamish)

Rule one: Avoid surgeons. They see all solutions in terms of surgery!

Its a super capacitor not a battery, there are other areas where they are working on the technology, one is super cap batteries for cars... You are right about the device charging that depends on current battery technology, I believe they and others are looking at batteries for phones etc.
 
Well here's a catch if you do the math...

zapandgo has a capacity of 1500mAh and takes 5 minutes to charge

Current-generation li-ion batteries can have charge rates of 2C or higher over a certain SoC (state of charge) range.

2C means a 10000mAh battery will recharge itself within 30 minutes. So in 5 minutes the 10000mAh battery would have charged 1666mAh

how does that compare to a discharge cycle tho? If the 5 min charge on the zapandgo will be enough to 80% charge the 1700mAh battery in the phone vs say the partial charge on the external lithium pack?

In reality most charge their external battery packs off USB chargers which limit to 2A max, your example needs a 20A charger.
