Instructables member Joehan has published details of a DIY electrostatic motor or “capacitor motor” that has been created using 3D printing and is capable of providing 2 Watt HV power. The DIY ...

Every now and then you need to make your own capacitor. That includes choosing a dielectric for it, the insulating material that goes between the plates. One dielectric material that I use a lot is ...

This diy electroscope circuit can precisely measure electrostatic charge. The charge to be measured is stored on C1 (a high quality MKT capacitor with a value of 1-2 μF). The voltage (U) across the ...

The four basic capacitor types. The key parameters involved in selecting the right capacitor for automotive designs. Advantages and limitations of electrolytic and electrostatic capacitors. Choosing a ...
