Abstract
The present invention generally relates to arrangements for capacitors, for example, for energy storage and other applications. Certain aspects are generally directed to a plurality of capacitors, packed into various 2- and 3-dimensional arrays. The capacitors may have any suitable shape, including spherical and/or cylindrical. The capacitors may be packed into a variety of efficient arrangements, for example, face-centered cubic arrangements, hexagonal close packed arrangements, Barlow packing arrangements, or the like. In some cases, such capacitors may be packed with packing fractions of at least 55%, 60%, or more. Other embodiments of the present invention are generally directed to methods of making or using such capacitor arrangements, kits involving such capacitor arrangements, or the like.
