In it's April 2009 employee newsletter, Lockheed Martin has reiterated support for EEStor Inc.'s technology. They are reporting it as having an energy density that is 100X of lead acid.
"Looking ahead, the MFC Power
Management team plans to incorporate
new battery technologies into its products
as they become available. It has
partnered with EEStor, a small company
that has patented ultra-capacitor technology
that MFC believes could be a
game-changing technology in the power
management field. EEStor technology
could provide 10 times the energy density
of lead acid batteries at 1/10th the
weight and volume."

If the 100x can be confirmed, that is a super galactic humongous deal.
100x puts EESUs at a *HIGHER* energy density, in both weight and volume, than the *NET* value of gasoline, as used in today's fairly in-efficient ICE (Internal Combustion Engines).
Meaning an equivalent EESU would weigh less (~1/2) and have a smaller volume (~1/5) than the equivalent gasoline.
Thus a 10 gallon tank of gasoline for a 30 MPG car would shrink from ~65 pounds for the gasoline to ~30 pounds of EESU. And the 10 gallons of volume would shrink to ~2 gallons of EESU volume.
How to say beyond a world changing paradigm?
