Hello,

I found this very nice website with a section about Homebrew Butterfly
Capacitor with many photographs.

Does anybody knows where in UK (preferrable in Dorset or London) can I
get aluminum foil, 0.5 centimeters thickness?

Marcello,

Talk to Squires Models & Craft Tools, 100 London Rd, Bognor Regis,
West Sussex, PO21 1DD. Tel: 01243 842424, Fax: 01243 842525

They have:

Brass sheet, 4" x 10" X 0.005, 0.010, 0.015, 0.032, inches thick

Copper sheet, 4" x 10" X 0.025 inches thick

Aluminium sheet 4" x 10" X 0.016, 0.032, 0.064, inches thick.

Sorry, I will leave you do convert to metric

I think that you will find this kind of material at any decent model
shop.

Rapid Electronics, www.rapidonline.com , has aluminium sheet 0.5m x
0.5m x 0.8mm & 1.2mm, also 0.1mm brass sheet x A4 or A3.


Charlie.
