Cap Building Site

prometei:

I have read their materials a few times and, I am guessing about this, I believe they are saying that while your electric meter will register (and you will be charged for) any and all of those spikes, even though they are useless to our electrical appliances and sometimes harmful.  The thing that makes no sense to me is how you can plug one of their gizmos into one plug in your house (on one isolated circuit) and cause the meter to be effected on the entire house circuits?  Seems to me to do any good it would have to be installed either before the meter, or just after it on the main line coming into the home.  As I said, this may be real, or a scam, I don't know.  Just tossing it out there.

A one farad capacitor is a huge capacitor.Use panes of glass to separate the sheets of metal and try to find online calculators to help you with the rest of the building.Mineral oil is said to be helpful too.triffid

That type of construction is for higher voltages. A 1 Farad of that type would fill a room.

There are basically 2 things you can do to increase capacitance of a pair of plates - reduce the spacing or insert a material with a high dielectric constant. If memory seves barium titanate has a very high constant, several thousand times higher than air or glass.

here's another company manufacturing such a product it claims to remove peak which are causing additional heat in your appliance . the system is called Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor (TVSS)

The titanates range from 50 to 30000.I dont know about barium titanate per say But water is 80 and sand is about 4.2.Maybe this info helps someone here?Triffid
