Capacitor charge questions

[MarkE]

Hi Mark,
You really need to get out more. Time to play in the Forest you wrote didn't exist will do you good.

He wrote 20F and that is what it IS. Many of the younger people use huge caps on their car stereo systems - not in them: ON THEM, on the power input.
Some even have cool looking LED's, it is a marvelous world outside of the computers, "in reality".

An "audio capacitor" refers to a series coupling capacitor applied at audio frequencies.  A capacitor applied across a power supply of an audio amplifier is not an "audio capacitor".  So, maybe you should get out there and learn something.

You might like to see the WORK 66F at 120v can do do in my work in the Forest I play in "off screen" known as REALITY.

I am quite aware of how much energy can be stored in a capacitor, linear or otherwise.  If you had done the trivial calculations you would see that the 18.1uA quoted would only charge an ideal zero leakage current 20F capacitor by 3.5mV every hour (actually 3.3mV).  Any leakage current from a real capacitor would reduce that charging rate.  That means in the ideal case it would take over 166 days to recharge the capacitor.

Remember what I am "playing with": "Mass Particle Accelerators" which; BTW two are used WORKING in "Stereophonic" or four for "Quadraphonic" ENERGY DEVELOPMENT. For the most part I am already moving past caps, they are just too expensive for the average home ower/tax slave stuck in "this reality".
