Caps.



Has anyone tried to make a cap with a really nice powdered dielectric
(High K) like Barium Titanate? BaTi has an K factor of about 1,200
compared to other materials that are around 6-12. Would it load down the
system or take to long to charge up with that much capacity?  What would
be a clever way to make one with ordinary materials?

You could stack a few metal plates in a plastic container and fill the
gap between them with the dielectric powder?  This would produce great
storage capacity in a relatively small space - you could also remove/add
dielectric and adjust the spacing between the plates (or remove plates)
to produce a capacitor of just about any value and capable of very high
potentials (with a good physical separation between the plates).
