[TenTec] which power supply setup?

[Gary Follett]

Actually there is already work going to implement super capacitors even up to the point of powering cars. They are more durable and generally less toxic in terms of materials. 

A 1 Farad capacitor (two in series) served as the battery backup in Panasonic VCR's as long ago as 1984.

You would need a LOT of 1 Farad capacitors to do useful work, but super capacitor technology is moving at a fast pace.
