High-Level Project Summary
Energy storage devices have been the primary source of electrical power for various space operations. But the main difficulty of these devices is that the up to which they can store this energy and how it works under extreme conditions like high pressure and temperature. Hence through this SPACE APPS challenge I'm coming up with a solution that can tackle both these situations.

Detailed Project Description
I was hoping to come up with a small supercapacitor that would store tremendous amount of energy and be smaller in dimension and less weight. But I couldn't get anything that would satisfy my condition. I was hoping that my battery storage device would be surrounded with silicon compound which has high melting point and inert to many compounds through which we could reduce the leakage of energy.

Hackathon Journey
It was indeed a wonderful experience. I'm glad I chose this topic as my challenge. I got to know more about the various energy storing devices and expand my knowledge in that area. I didn't get enough time to come up with a solution that would completely fill my criteria. I was stuck in between various scenarios.
