Testing the TK Tar Baby

And Poynty - here's another thing I've thought of.  The impedance is INCREASED - those Ohmic values INCREASE - as the frequency increases.  Conversely, it would be LESSENED as the frequency is slower.

Capacitive reactance decreases with frequency.  That is, the AC impedance ("resistance") of a capacitor DECREASES as the applied frequency increases.

A 1uF capacitor has a reactance of approximately 159 ohms at 1 KHZ.  At 1 MHz, it has a reactance of .159 ohms.



Inductive reactance increases with frequency.  That is, the AC impedance ("resistance") of an inductor INCREASES as the applied frequency increases.

A 1uHy inductor has a reactance of approximately .0063 ohms at 1KHZ.  At 1 MHz, it has a reactance of 6.3 ohms.

But then, depending on the capacitor, there will be freq above 1mhz that the resistance/impedance will increase, again depending on the inductance within a particular cap.

I wonder if we were to make 2 caps, both using the same length and width plate strips, but we roll them a bit differently.

The first, we lay one strip on top of the other and we connect our leads to each strip at the same end of the stack of 2 strips, say both leads on the left end of the strip stack. We wont even roll these for this. Just strip capacitors.

The second cap strip stack, ;] , we connect our leads, one on each end. One lead is connected to the top plate on the left end, and the other lead to the bottom plate on the right end.

When a cap is charged, 'current' flow, in one plate and out the other, the arrangement of where we have our leads(the way in and the way out of the plates) must affect the level of inductance in the cap, due to which way currents flow in and out of the plates, while the plates are inducing currents in each other, depending on the flow of those currents.

If the leads are connected at the same end of the plates, currents should flow easily as they are in opposite directions. But leads on opposite ends of the plates, the currents flow all in the same direction, so inductance should be well present here.

Weird aint it.   So, with opposite ended, higher induction, maybe this kind of cap, say rolled, could receive a charge from a pulse of a primary coil magnetic field. Use a diode across the cap leads that uses the pulsed induction to take from one side of the cap to the other.
Then the charge will stay in the cap till taken. lol Now for discharge, use leads on the same end for least inductance.  Ive seen 4(2 on each end) lead caps, but Im not sure they are used this way.

I wonder. And Im about to drop. Sleeps

Electrolytic FETs.  Look! Polly Parrot squawks a new word, without the faintest clue as to what it means.

Capacitors....some capacitors are electrolytic .... FETs have capacitance.... therefore FETs are electrolytic.



Can't grasp the difference between a direct relationship and an inverse relationship... can't see that dividing BY one is different from dividing INTO one. Just wait until someone tries multiplying by one!

Well the writers of this sitcom are really scraping the bottom of the barrel now. Just start grabbing numbers and multiplying them, why not.

Better stick to gin, Ainslie.

@All

I sort of thought this thread was going to fall on its sword.  Apparently not.  In which case perhaps it needs some more comments.  Here's this for starters.

The lament of the trolls

A pickle spent much of the day trying to say
That his size was most certainly measurable
While conductance was possibly part of that art
It was capacitance made that art pleasurable.

But reactance then came to be largely to blame
For his size that was somewhat dirisable
As the whole was revised and accordingly sized
And found to be ever divisible.

His friend who lived up there some many miles high
Explained that he had a solution.
But he factored the square of pi in the sky
Which compounded to abject confusion.

And the owl then decided to throw in the towel
As she tried very hard not to snigger.
For she knew that though small, Planck's constant was all
Of it yet most assuredly bigger.

And the point of this sorrowful dirge that I urge
You to hear in this gentle reminder
Is the brunt of the joke that I poke at this bloke
Is one needs to be cruel to be kinder.

And here some links for some required reading.

enjoy.

Hmmm, all the energy put into writing that. But still no testing. Ahhh, the leisure life. ;]
