Bifilar capacitor

[MasterPlaster]

Hello All,

An idea has been floating in my head and I thought I share it with all of you.

I look forward to your comments:

How is this any different than a multilayer ceramic capacitor, a rolled polyester capacitor, or a rolled electrolytic capacitor?

A good way of thinking. I taught also in that way but I think that the point is in dielectric. Definition of dielectric is high resistant material that we can also say is staticaly charged.
My idea was to find a dielectric that is quick high staticaly charged.
Then the discharging through a spark gap would happen regulary and create a voltage with a frequency that could possibly be usefull.

Hi Mark,

I am actually no expert in capacitors but as I understand it, what does the work in the capacitor is the dielectric.

The capacitor on the left side of your image is more like what I am talking about. It reminds me of the variable capacitors
used in radios also, all the multi layer capacitor I know of are low value ceramic ones.

In the picture you attached, the rolled capacitor on the right hand side is different although same amount of material will
be required.

I have not been able to make a test device to observe the performance  yet but, I am planning to use 4 thirty meter
roles of aluminum cooking foils with layers of cling film as dielectric. This is easier said than done for me as I have
no where to do the work.

You may appreciate that just using words one can not describe how a bifilar coil works and this is the same for the capacitor.

Thank you for your question.

Here is very interesting and mind blowing page about parallel plate condesator
http://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/II_23.html#Ch23-F15


People have done interesting researches on condesators, and I have few totally
new ideas. More new ideas should come. People done nearly everything with coils.
Do you like new page I found?
