Air Capacitors are kinda like regular capacitors - Doc Physics

In this here video I attempt to create an analogy between two buckets with a balloon stretched between them and that wonderful beast, the electrical capacitor. You make the call whether I have given you any insight into the action of charges moving around a circuit that involves a capacitor.

Admit it, you just wanted an excuse to wear that dope fur coat.

[johnculjak]

This is the greatest explanation of capacitors ever. EVER. Thank you Doc Physics! I have to go and do ten push ups.

[Eliasdbr]

This is the most intuitive analogy of a capacitor, and electronics in general, actually. Thank you so much!

Dayum, this guy's videos are insane and I love them

[Oblivlawls]

Hey Doc, great video. Glad to see you still have the same great method of science communication.

Air inductance - water wheel/propeller (turbine) + flywheel, which might be some sort of musical instrument. Air cap. was great demo, I've not seen that before. Air battery - bagpipes.

Did... Did a pimp just taught me about capacitors?

[Taran]

Doc, you are the best. Love your channel and all your videos. You always explain things simply, clearly and straight to the point. I'm a professional electrical engineer and dont have time to go back to the I always watch your videos. Thank you for creating this channel.

Very interesting metaphorical analogy. Wonderfully creative, and inventive teacher. Thank you!

[johnnoemartinez]

dude, i watch your another video about projectile motion. then you are great at explaining then i check your other video. you're the best at explaining dude, you enlighten me in the process of how capacitors work. great job!!!

[sammirison]

great mechanical analogue demo of explanation of both charge storage, and energy storage in capacitors. well done for your this!

[RodrigodaMotta]

That's a really nice analogy, congrats!

[kaumohlamonyane]

The flow of liquid and air seems to have a lot of similarities with the flow of electricity.

[Ghost]

really good video, I had seen an example of a water capacitor, but its the same thing. Really nice to see it in person though so thanks!

Also I take it the dieletric material would be analogous to how strong the membrane is, that being the stronger the material the more energy it can store as it can handle higher air pressures without tearing/bursting.

This wasn't what I was hoping for but this still works for me

Thanks alot

[ostry]

Good Explenation I really like explanation diffrent stuff with diffrent analogy

[BoBjjjjs]

An Air Electrolytic Capacitor, wonderful. Now will the Air Electrolytic do any smoothing?

[PrimedProductions]

Genius!! One thing to know, another to be able to translate

[shitheadjohnson]

this is how to be a good architecht here.

[ahmedakifhekimoglu]

I think it went from the left to the right.
