capacitor videos

Simple yet effective, they come in a dizzying array of forms and materials. Vital to so many circuits for storage, timing, and filtration - the mighty capacitor! audio and video by Collin Cunningham makezine.com

Explaining how a capacitor charges and stores energy. The effect of changing the area, the dielectric and the plate spacing.

This is a demo of some of the features the Flex Capacitor library (in development) adds to the Flash Platform. These features are not present in Flash based websites without manually coding them. This adds them. It's goal is to make online content easier to create without sacrificing any power. This project's mission is to take Flash from where it is to where it could be. Anyone is welcome to join. The vision is that one day you will be able to use the visual design tool of your choice such ...

Afroman goes over some basic information about capacitors: Capacitance, voltage ratings and polarity. Once you know what you are doing, you can replace faulty caps on your circuit board and bring your electronics back to life! Don't forget to vote 5!

Lab experiment to demonstrate effects of excessive voltage on a capacitor,

© EduMation.org A practical demonstration that shows the chraging and discharging modes of capacitors. A 160 mF capacitor was used. The video was directed and shot by Ebtisam Anzoor and presented by Mustafa Daif. We were assisted by our trainees Husain Atiya and Moh'd Abdulla

These Chargers of Capacitors use the same technology as Joule Thief's do which make me think that they are not new, They are just very efficient and also people are so unaware of what is actually inside very common everyday things. The LED light and NEON run of just 1.5v and I know the transistor which costs £2 alone will peak at 450v from a base voltage of 1.5v.... You also get two nice transformers, a HV Capacitor and a Neon Flash Tube Well Done Tescos' for such a cheap and Hackable ...

Capacitor bank: 21.5µF 30kV 9270 Joules 5kg watermelon (about 11 pounds) Pieces of watermelon flew over 15 meters. Air smelled and tasted like watermelon for some time.

What happens when you dump all of the energy from a 200V 7530uF capacitor bank into a 16V 10uF capacitor. It was MUCH louder than the camera makes it sound. My ears were ringing for quite a while after.

replacing a capacitor on a pcb.

Here we can see what difference does the spark have if we just attach a capacitor in parallel the spark plug. The spark gets more powerful. And then I just use a different spark plug with cut off ground electrode, this way the spark has nowhere to go except the ground all around the thread ring. Lots of plasma :) I am using a variac and a 12kV30mA neon sign transformer for this. The variac is set so that the output of the NST is about 5kV, just like in engine induction coil. Thanks...

Jeri and Kevin explore how electrolytic caps work by cutting them open and reversing the polarity under high voltage until they explode.

DigInfo - movie.diginfo.tv JM Energy has developed a lithium-ion capacitor that features the world's peak storage capacity. In addition, this capacitor offers high operating voltage, high energy density, and it can easily and safely be charged and discharged. This lithium-ion capacitor is an appropriate storage device for a broad range of business applications. A capacitor is one type of storage device that charges and discharges instantaneously, and JM Energy's lithium-ion capacitor (LIC ...

More info and the schematic at frikkieg.blogspot.com CHECK OUT VERSION 2 OF THIS WELDER http This started when both the batteries of my drill died and not willing to pay the outrages amounts for new batteries I started to look around for a better alternative. I realized that the guys that were building their $100 welder was on the right track but some did not really understood the math involved to figure out the current and discharge times of these machines.Inspired by these guys at endless ...

Soldering a surface mount 0805 capacitor.

This is my latest SSG. Its a low voltage design that I'm testing super capacitors on. This video shows it running with a 5V /20 Farad capacitor bank. The charging circuit has been bypassed here to just show the motor running. The super caps are amazing. They charge and discharge differently than a battery. A recharge takes only seconds from a power supply but in the motor they charge up much slower. With a full charge they will run this motor about 10 min.

The Imhotep Radiant Oscillator running on energy stored in super capacitors. It is shown lighting a CFL and charging another capacitor at the same time.

Two 14.000V 5uF capacitors in parallel. We have a total of 5 capacitors

An attempt to reclaim a lost Nikola Tesla idea-sequence! The air pressure within a tiny metal-walled chamber full of glowing plasma slowly falls. Air turns to solid oxides/nitrides, leaving vacuum behind. It's a historical Ion pump, a "Tesla coil" vacuum pump with no moving parts. Nickky T. apparently knew about this, and used the effect to pump down his x-ray tubes in the days before the other vacuum pumps (Sprengel, etc.,) had any hope of reaching the required low pressures for X-rays ...
