Let's talk about inductors (coils) and capacitors.

Describe in your best words how they work, why they work like they do, what the process is both specifically and in relation to circuits and the environment and why they are the complete denial of the other.

Here are coils and caps connected in series and parallel, they produce different effects..

An observer measures a charge at rest in frame F. The observer will detect a static electric field. As the charge is stationary in this frame, there is no electric current, so the observer does not observe any magnetic field.

The other observer in frame F' moves at velocity v relative to F and the charge. This observer sees a different electric field because the charge moves at velocity -v in their rest frame. The motion of the charge corresponds to an electric current, and thus the observer in frame F' also sees a magnetic field.

I was hoping for a more concise explanation as to how they work, for instance in capacitors is the charge stored in the dielectric between the plates? Does one side produce the stored charge and the other dissipate it? And is the energy going in the same as that coming out when shorted?
Inductors store a magnetic charge but only release it when the circuit is open, what's going on here?

be carefull with that eric dollard guy he is a pseudo-wherever the hell he is. Steinmetz is a proper electric engineer but in his writings he uses analogies that some people have taken totally out of context I'm talking about the book "Elementary Lectures on Electric Discharges

a capacitor basicaly uses the interactaction of the surface electrons of the plaques with the surface electrons of the dielectric, this is why a capacitor's capacity is basically directly related to surface/area, the thickness of the dielectric is not related to capacity but only to how much voltage the capacitor can take before rupturing the dielectric creating an arc between the plaques this has to be avoided in the normal use of a capacitor

be carefull not to confuse "dielectric" with "dielectricity" this term used by Dollard. a dielectric is a material that is an insulator but has good "surface electron" qualities like mica. "dielectricity" is supoosedly another type of "electricity" but this is a term only used in the alternative community

to understand inductors I think the best explanation I have is to picture that the electrons have momentum and theres also the action of a magnetic field plus electric fields at the same time so when you energise a coil the coil recives electrons and the behaviour is to "store" them so if you sudenly cut the supply to the inductor this "stored" electrons rush to seek be at rest in neutral charge this is basically why you get inductive spikes (the uncontrolled rush of electrons IS the inductive spike)... I'm sorry if this is a messy explanation... also remember that any cable has induction and capacitance theres no perfect cable in real life basically every wire is an inductor, it doesnt have to be made into a coil to have induction.

at very high frequencies even an inch of wire can present too much induction and other parasitics, this is part of the reason why Radio Frequency work RF is admire as an "occult art"

No. It is stored on the plates.

Both plates store charge of opposite sign.

Dont know what this means
>Inductors store a magnetic charge but only release it when the circuit is open, what's going on here?
Ampere's law and Faraday's law. Any current in a loop induces a magnetic field through the center, but only a changing magnetic field induces a current in the loop that surrounds the field. The direction of the field and induced current are related by Lenz's law.

he's basically talking about "inductive spikes" some people in the alternative community and fans of Eric Dollard think that this spikes are "extra energy" obtained from "somehwere" and then they say it must be energy taken from the eather or that it is "zero point energy" this people are the same that think the spirals coils tesla used are "magical" that they can extract energy from the eather and all that nonsese...this people are an insult to tesla, tesla never said such bullshit ... is the same energy you put in from wherever power supply you are using, is just that coils has the property to releases it in a rush into a low impedance load, this behaviour is similar to capacitors they can also release the energy/electrons in a rush

is very commond in relays to use a diode in parallel with the coil (this is only for DC relays, other relays work on AC) to absorve this stored energy and lower the voltage spike that occurs when the relay becomes suddenly de-energise, but this stored energy comes from the same power supply

pic related is the interwinding capacitance related to spiral coils and found in all coils and transformers.

althought I have to thank them becasue they sparked my curiosity that made me read about Tesla and it turns out everything is normal electromagnetic theory and very approchable to any student of electronics and in fact is all very insteresting.

for anyone interested in electronics I highly recommend reading Tesla but only his own writings and pattents not some third person, they always end up making bullshit explanations like that Eric Dollard and many others

I wish I could discuss an interesting phenomena related to tesla but unfortunatelly theres too much schizo bullshit goin on and theres too little people here with a good grasp of electric engineering that also have read the patents... and to the people that I have recomended reading them don't even want to try, so it all becomes futile...

the capacitors are being charged in paralell, until voltafe is high enough to create a spark in the lowest spark gap. This will cause it to create sparks in all spark gaps, the capacitors are connected in series through spark gaps and discharge in the form of great boom that can kill.

When you connect a capacitor to a constant voltage source you induce an electric field across the dielectric gap. This causes a separation of charges. When a time varying source is connected to a capacitor you get a displacement current through the dielectric (this is the term that Maxwell added to Ampere's Law). You can define a metric called capacitance which relates the charge that has been separated and the electric scalar potential between the plates.

A coiled wire with constant current running through it will generate a static magnetic field around it (Ampere's law in the static case). Defining a parameter called Inductance as the ratio of the flux density of the magnetic field to the current yields to the formulation of an inductor. If the current source is time varying then you will get both magnetic and electric fields that will propagate (probably badly) from your coil.

Honestly for any EM problem you just need to look at Maxwell's equations and the answer is staring at you in the face

>you get a displacement current through the dielectric

that statement can be misleading, theres no actual electron current through the dielectric, its only an "apparent current displacement" if there was such a current in practice the capacitor will be faulty.

the plaques acumulate charge that latter can be discharged but not through the dielectric it returns only through the same terminals that feed the plaques , even in an AC circuit the dielectric does not present an actual current displacement.
the dielectric is always an insulator, no one wants a leaky capacitor in their circuits...

and vid related 7:10 https://youtu.be/ppWBwZS4e7A?t=429

btw theres also vacuum capacitors and the reason is like I mentioned before:

>A vacuum capacitor uses a high vacuum as the dielectric instead of air or other insulating material. This allows for a higher voltage rating than an air dielectric using a smaller total volume

>discharge in the form of great boom that can kill.

yes, althought a little reminder that to cause lethal damage will depend also on the current, the homemade ones are generally too low current, the zap can be very painfull or even cause burns if the current is enough but not necessarely lethal... high current with high voltage will be lethal

no, think for example of a "step up" transformer, the voltage goes up but the current goes down and vice versa for a "step down" transformer.

theres no circuit that can have an output of more energy that you put in, if someone tells you that they have such a circuit you should doubt it.

Let's say we're in a church that is acoustically designed to resonate, we have 50 grand pianos, for arguments sake. We play a D# on one of the pianos and the rest of them start to resonate and play the same note also. We didn't lose any velocity, or energy, in the first piano. We gained more energy than we put out. Couldn't the same be applied to coils also in resonance wirelessly?

thats actually an interesting "mind experiment" but the answer is no, what you are doing there is that you are making the best conditions to capture that resonance emited by that first piano so the efficiency in the transfer of that tone to the other strings can be quite high but theres no more energy than the input...

...high efficiency transfer of wireless energy ("radio") IS something that I sincerely encourange you to study and focus on because its a very cool subject. for example just recently I was reading an article with a very beautiful coil design from the 1910s, pic related consist of a spiral coil made with ribbon wire and inside it theres the other coil wound in a spherical pattern (it looks like saturn)... but this is not a "free energy" coil nor a over-unity coil, the idea is high efficiency... Tesla never claimed "free energy" or "over-unity" only charlatans will claim that, it was all about efficiency.

>> No.11418265

>>11418147
But maybe you missed what I said. for the same input, I could multiply my output infinitely under the right conditions. I could have 500 pianos. Is it true that resonating one coil and picking it up wirelessly on another does not diminish the initial power? Same goes for capacitors, if I charged one side of a 30cm squared copper plate with a dielectric between another plate, I could tap the same power of the other plate without it reducing the initial.

nop the plates will want to go into equilibrium, remember that you have to "close the circuit" to do something useful with that charge

>>11418341
>frequencies and harmonics might reach a spike to infinity and go above

have you ever experimented with coils and condensers? for example inductive spikes DO NOT GO TO INFINITY...

I know exactly what you are talking about I actually like to watch videos by eric dollard and all the tesla crowd... they even badly quote Proteus steinmetz and out of pure mental gymnastics come to the conclusion that inductive spikes are "infinte energy because they tent to go to infinity" but is not the case and that is not what steinmatz was saying, remember how the alternative comunity accuse physics of being "only a mathematical construct without looking at reality?" well the alternative community is doing exactly that....

all the parasitics make that impossible, only in theory you could say the spike go to infinity just like its very easy to design a perpetual motion machine... IN THEORY. so again in real life all comes down to the efficiency game

in electronics is very common to study the "ideal components" but latter you HAVE to go into real models
