wrote in message
... Hello, I found this very nice website with a section about Homebrew Butterfly Capacitor with many photographs. http://hps.infolink.com.br/py1ahd/gallery21.htm Does anybody knows where in UK (preferrable in Dorset or London) can I get aluminum foil, 0.5 centimeters thickness? 73's DX Marcelo LW3EOV/GB Small Parts, Inc in Florida carries Aluminum sheet, as well as K&S Engineering/Metals.

So 0.016" would be close???????????? |

Here in the USA, 0.020" aluminum is a standard thickness.

It's pretty clear from looking at the picture of the capacitor that .5 cm is out of the question, and must be a typo on the original web page, while 0.5 mm is quite reasonable for a capacitor of that construction and size. -- Dave Platt AE6EO Friends of Jade Warrior home page: http://www.radagast.org/jade-warrior I do _not_ wish to receive unsolicited commercial email, and I will boycott any company which has the gall to send me such ads! |

The post has been out there a while and we all assume it's a typo (I've
never seen the original poster reply about that) but 1/2 a centimeter would make HUGE plates...1/2 a mm sounds MUCH more realistic...
