You end up with a heap of electrons on the floor. And a hole under the neutral hole. Not if you leave a plug in the socket. That'll stop the electrons. What about the neutrons, protons and croutons? Croutons are especially nasty when they end up on the floor... The commercial power in my neighborhood has an asymmetric waveform. Some of us have been saving the extra electrons on one-half-cycle. The extra electrons flow into the ground. Like in your radios. S* |

Someone this stupid would be incapable of feeding and clothing himself. |

The first box is nearly full. |

You should use the Leyden jar. S* |

.. . A box is not the best condenser. You should use the Leyden jar. S* How about a nice modern compact capacitor? Regards, Ian. |

It should be with the low leakage. The Leyden jar has a thick insulation. And, "Any type of capacitor may develop excessive leakage if the capacitor is subjected to excessive applied voltage or high-voltage spikes." ..It was known in Marconi time: "It is now perfectly well known that a condenser, if large enough, does not prevent the passage of high frequency oscillations, and therefore in these cases the earth is for all practical purposes connected to the antennae." (Marconi 1909). In reality the real condenser conducts (electrons are flowing) the DC but do not AC. In the teaching program is opposite. S* |

Who wants to try to explain to this babbling idiot that the impedance of a capacitor is 1 / ( 2 X pi X f X C) which means if f is zero (DC) the impedance is infinite and there is no conduction (in an ideal capacitor). |

You and teachers live in the ideal world where are the ideal capacitors. Leyden jar has insulator made of glass. It is possible to make it with insulator "made" of the air. What will be leakage in such case? S* |

S* I'll take that into account the next time I'm connecting a bleeder across a power supply output. Now that I know a capacitor will work ... |

Shoebox holds hundreds and I already have plenty of shoeboxes, plus friends who have shoeboxes. The lid needs to be taped down or the mutual repulsion of the electrons will push it up and off. |
