Indeed (although that may help for charging them in parallel).
Only if you consider 0.0005R a high resistance. The latest generation of super and ultra capacitor have some impressive specs. Looks like the device must be a stack of 1500F 2.7v ultracapacitors rated at 1kA. eg
They are a far cry from memory preservation "super" capacitors of old.
Here you go!
It's possible, but they're promising 3kA at 12V, which means needing a 36kW (peak) inverter. That's not small - into serious EV territory here - and needs careful cooling.
It seems they have a supercap with enough series/parallel cells to get the voltage tolerance up (to 16V) so they don't need to power convert:

Me too, I was just wondering how they worked as the biggest capacitor I had ever seen was 1F which we used to store the charge for an amplification system which was pumped up by a 24V bicycle generator ( sound system for an off grid concert).

Sounds like you used to run Raves! Was it you in Newcastle t'other day?? Police had to break into one of the bridges' towers to shut it down.
Some rave, it was an arts project at the gunpowder park in Waltham Abbey, it needed two people cycling quite hard to maintain power output sufficient to run the sound system.

Well it should have gone with a bang. I do hope the ordnance was properly cleared beforehand - once had a similar 'cleared' site near us. Until the builders found some bits of metal and ran like hell. A number of controlled explosions followed.
I'll bet.
Our firm did some of the initial vegetation clearance but there were some wooden huts we were not allowed to touch, they torched them as the safest way of demolition but I didn't witness any of that.
I later mulched up a field on an old mortar range where a girl had been killed in an explosion during the war, near Colchester, it had been swept for bombs at the time and abandoned to secondary woodland, a terrible waste of timber but the range was only closed for a week to do the work. I was a little worried. After that job I was low loaded to Hemel Hempstead where the exhaust broke, so a denizen of this group helped me re weld it. Whilst I was away my "workmates" deposited a mills bomb in the running gear for me to find. Whilst the pin and handle were intact I could see the primer was missing from the bottom, so I pointed it out to them, told them to move back and raised my 'phone to my ear to call the police :-)
