Abstract
A molten dielectric capacitor energy storage system for storing and providing power to an electric motorized vehicle. The molten dielectric capacitor energy storage system has an outer shell defining a hollow interior, a first conductive electrode with at least one first conductive plate, a second conductive electrode with at least one second conductive plate, and a dielectric material made of at least opal and sodium nitrite located in the hollow interior of the outer shell said. The first and second conductive plates are located in the hollow interior of the outer shell adjacent to each other defining a gap therebetween and are immersed in the dielectric material. A heating element is used to maintain the dielectric material in a molten phase.
