  2. Marx generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marx_generator

    Consequently, the second gap breaks down to add the third capacitor to the "stack", and the process continues to sequentially break down all of the gaps. This process of the spark gaps connecting the capacitors in series to create the high voltage is called erection. The last gap connects the output of the series "stack" of capacitors to the load.

  3. Induction generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_generator

    For a machine to run as an asynchronous generator, capacitor bank must supply minimum 4567 / 3 phases = 1523 VAR per phase. Voltage per capacitor is 440 V because capacitors are connected in delta. Capacitive current Ic = Q/E = 1523/440 = 3.46 A Capacitive reactance per phase Xc = E/Ic = 127 Ω. Minimum capacitance per phase:

  4. DeLorean time machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeLorean_time_machine

    The Flux Capacitor as seen in a replica DeLorean Time Machine. The flux capacitor, which consists of a rectangular-shaped compartment with three flashing Geissler-style tubes arranged in a "Y" configuration, is described by Doc as "what makes time travel possible". The device is the core component of the time machine.

  5. Electric displacement field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_displacement_field

    A parallel plate capacitor. Using an imaginary box, it is possible to use Gauss's law to explain the relationship between electric displacement and free charge. Consider an infinite parallel plate capacitor where the space between the plates is empty or contains a neutral, insulating medium. In both cases, the free charges are only on the metal ...

  6. Capacitance multiplier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitance_multiplier

    A capacitance multiplier is designed to make a capacitor function like a much larger capacitor. This can be achieved in at least two ways. An active circuit, using a device such as a transistor or operational amplifier; A passive circuit, using autotransformers. These are typically used for calibration standards.

  7. Explosively pumped flux compression generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosively_pumped_flux...

    The magnetic flux threading the ring, represented by five field lines, is reduced by the same ratio as the area of the ring. The variation of the magnetic flux induces a current (red arrows) in the ring by Faraday's law of induction, which in turn creates a new magnetic field circling the wire (green arrows) by Ampere's circuital law. The new ...

    Police have arrested a woman who they say kidnapped her own children from a Virginia bus stop on Thursday, triggering an Amber Alert. The Augusta County Sheriff's Office said late Thursday that ...

  9. Variable capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_capacitor

    Differential variable capacitors also have two independent stators, but unlike in the butterfly capacitor where capacities on both sides increase equally as the rotor is turned, in a differential variable capacitor one section's capacity will increase while the other section's decreases, keeping the sum of the two stator capacitances constant.
