This invention isn't for fancy purposes. It shows how we can turn trash into usable electronic components.
I wouldn't lean too much on the word 'usable'. :-))
@@taunteratwill1787 Yeah ok
@@chrismason1530 he dont like it cos thats what they used to call his bum in prison 🤦♂🤦♂🤷♂🤷♂🤣🤣
@@lukegamerdonkey6663 What?
Outstanding!
My Mag Loop Antenna tuning capacitor problems are now solved by watching this vid.
I'll be able to add 100s of puffs for pennies instead of $100s for vacuum variables/etc.
It's the slitting of the plastic bottle that ties it all together.
Thanks one heck of a lot.....

I kind of understand the loop antenna. Frankly, I don't know much what you speak of with the rest. "100s of puffs"? Yo... I suppose, if you risk your life to make capacitors by reusing plastic and other materials... do so at own risk.
At least write back to tell me what the fuck you're talking about?
@@maddoctorwhitson XD
What problem did this help you solve?
You are so wanderfull
Thank you so much my brother in humanation.
Cut another old soda bottle to wrap two turns on the card tube for insulation before wrapping the foil. If you wrap foil directly to the surface of the cardboard, any moisture in the card or the glue that holds it together will cause a flash-over. Adding extra insulation will double the ability to withstand higher voltage.
Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. I ruined all the Caps, by the way. I used them to make loud popping noises, like plasma works...
but I will consider the risk of cardboard material absorbing humidity over time and such.
Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.
So good you’re professional mate.
I'm not professional. I play electricity by ear sometimes, just like I do in music.
Nice, have you tried heating the plastic after assembly to shrink, so as to make it tighter.
No, but thanks. Maybe if next time, I will try that.
Usually when people make capacitors they don't roll it on a tube they add two pieces of foil and two layers of resistance which give it a bigger capacitance, aside from that great vedio
Thanks. I might try that.
Your voice is so dynamic and exciting! You could put ANYTHING TO SLEEP!
Indeed you are correct about that and for that reason I apologize. I was trying to start filming again...
@@maddoctorwhitson @ just don't mate... We like it, its what you are. We've just love and enjoy it mate
@@MrAirbleed Thank you, dear. It means a lot.
@@maddoctorwhitson don't worry about petty people saying snide things, you are making a good faith effort to share interesting & useful information. that is a good thing
@@geodeaholicm4889 ... Well, I haven't noticed any critics with real channels anyway. They all seem to be people who upload other people's content. Thanks for your comment though. It helps me to be more inspired. To the haters out there... I would like to say, make a real channel, with original content or shut the fuck up.
You are Mad allright !
if you really don't want use\have a wire stripper use the scissors, they are 95% the same of electrician scissors for that purpose, i was wondering what's the use of a lighter, i'll just have a tonne of carbonized plastic on your fingers and it's also somehow conductive
Oh... Yeah, carbon soot in the plastic is conductive. I probably shouldn't do that. Thanks.
Great video. How do you control the Farad and Voltage Ratings?
Clarence Mentor
NOT!
@@taunteratwill1787 hahaha! You are right. I play with high voltage like I play the piano, yo.
@@maddoctorwhitson :-)) Keep experimenting, you never know what happens. . . .
@@taunteratwill1787, I shall. Thanks for the encouragement. I almost died a couple of times, but I was too fucked up on drugs and alcohol. I experiment with no knowledge sometimes. Risks's are part of science. But because I don't know exactly the amps and capacity (Volts were 4200 AC), I did experiments with DC electricity when I was 9 yrs old (making a flashlight and such).
@@taunteratwill1787 "feed" that Child-like inquisitive SPIRIT .
If I have many layers of aluminium wrapped around ; half + half will be - , will the capacitance of such capacitor increase ?
You bring up a good question. I don't know the answer. I'm a dumb ass who knows how to make plasma. Like playing piano, I don't know the notes. I just play the music.
Wow 'great
May I know the name of the electronic material used in the capacitor and how can I get it?
It's aluminum foil. I can't remember if it was regular, or heavy-duty thickness, but I would use heavy-duty if possible.
This is literally the most "DIY" component ever made.
Thanks.

Saludos desde USA!
You must show it's capacitance value and change in P.d value too
I currently can't test capacitance (don't have a meter capable of doing so). By the way... What is 'P.d'?
@@maddoctorwhitson potential difference, voltage
Best video on this subject by far!! Others talk forever and about shit they don’t need to talk about. It’s like shut the fuck up and make the video. You are the best man keep it up!! Thank you!!
Thank you for that reply, Nightmare...
High voltage but small capacitance
High volt, at least 4200 volts. Amperes are unknown, but significantly reduced amperes. Still 4200 volts.
I don't know about reduced capacitance though. Sincerely, I play HV by ear just like music I play on the piano.
Is it possible to do this on a toothpick
And straw.......
I don't see why not, but the capacitance would be very low.
Low capacitance, but possible.
BOOM
I did make them all pop like Chinese fire crackers with a Flyback transformer. They went on for a while, then burnt out. Should have filmed it, I know... Sorry.
Hello could you make a low end volatage capacitator that goes up to 450V?
Do you mean low amp that goes up to 450v?
I guess its considered high voltage then
Virginia Bennett
Yes! You could save yourself $0.40 cents by doing so. Are you alright?
Taunter Atwill is she alright? I'm dying again
@@taunteratwill1787 omg hahaha
Thank you by the video!
Rodrigo Diego
And thank you by the great wall of China.
@@taunteratwill1787 I don't know what you mean by that.
So.....if i put more layers...does that store more electricity? I know...i might be an idiot for asking...lol
more layers give you more capacitance, so if you are needing it to hold a charge then that will be good, but otherwise you don't need the extra capacitance
Putting more layers of plastic makes it safer for higher amperes.
MadDoctor Whitson higher amps? With better insulation are you sure? I think i know what you mean, higher Voltage = more amp output??
Miguel Monteiro Miguel Monteiro
No genius, he means the more plastic wraps the more safety!
@@taunteratwill1787 no, more plastic means lower capacitance, the capacity exponentially drops off with the gap between them, and it would be volts, capacitors store a voltage, amps is current, and you cannot store current, just voltage that can make current later. He was right. But the plastic insulation used was crazy overkill here, you can use far thinner materials to get high capacity and still maintain high voltage.
That capacitance would be increased if longer aluminium foil and plastic insulater are used......
Thanks. Yes, you are correct. I would like to try that idea of yours.
Do you need more plastic insulator, or is more al foil enogh?
You know theres a thing called wire strippers right
You know there's a thing called having low income, right?
@@maddoctorwhitson lmao
What is the explanation for this?
I'm not sure what you are questioning.
the video is amazing but your mic quality isn't good
Thanks for the honesty. I'll try to do better with future instructional videos when I get time to make them. I've been very busy with life these days. The world is a shitshow, and takes up all my time from producing. Plus, I had to detox from booze for the last time. Almost died from that, and accidentally poisoning myself every other month with other substances.
@@maddoctorwhitson dude all the things are secondary. take care of yourself bro. you are important for people around you
sir can I use 4 wires
It’s like asking a a doctor if you can attach 4 nuts 🥜 to yourself 😂
Why do you need 4 wires?
Bro how i make it work
Search UA-cam for how to use high voltage capacitors. I'm sure there are dozens of geeks who teach how they use their capacitors. I burnt all mine like Chinese firecrackers. Don't try stuff like that if you're a kid, or new to manipulating high voltage electricity. You could die, and you only live once. Use supervision and guidance from experienced people, and learn safety first.

The typo wasn't the worst. . . . . . trust me.
@taunteratwill1787 There's no typo, moron.
falto probarlo no se vale
I got a video testing these.
Do you know the value?
Negative. I blew them all before I got a multimeter that could test the capacity. Sorry.
Capacitance....?
I don't have any way to measure capacitance. Like Benjamin Franklin working with Leiden Jars, and like how I play piano by ear, I only have these [capacitors] for basic purposes. Nicola Tesla didn't even have a way to measure a lot of what he did. He just went with the current [flow] at the time.
@@maddoctorwhitson oww so its more of a how they made it in the past instead of a tutorial
@@cia9315 Kind of, sort of, yes. This shit [caps] is functional in today's time. You of all should know that if any doom fucked up all our ways of making machines or reestablishing an electric grid, we can only makeshift from junk material.
Is why I like to keep the old ways of fashion Live in Current.
@@cia9315 , why is your channel name CIA?
Be hoest.
@@maddoctorwhitson Thanks for your video. Nikola Tesla did measure his capacitors and he knew exactly what he was doing. For example, the ones he made in Colorado Springs from champagne bottles were about 0.5 uF, if I remember correctly. He also tested the bottles of several suppliers and picked those which could withstand the highest voltage. Tesla worked in a very accurate and precise way, and that is why everything he described can be repeated now. BTW, this is his famous coil and the first stage of his _Perpetuum_ _mobile_ (the perpetual source of electricity aka free energy generator) that I've reproduced. It also produces atomic flame first described by Tesla, and sends energy to a completely insulated fluorescent lamp: ua-cam.com/video/X-LC4O2RnCM/v-deo.html . Enjoy.
:)
In 1892, Nikola Tesla said that there's no need in power stations and wires, because the energy can be obtained everywhere, for free, as much as needed, unlimited, at any point in the Universe, and transmitted wirelessly. This is true. We are surrounded by the ocean of energy and everyone who wants and knows how can take it - any amount, for free, anytime, everywhere.
:)
at least test it
I made a video of myself testing it right here... ua-cam.com/video/uhC-uEXCXHs/v-deo.html
Buy some wire strippers why doncha?
GhettoRanger
Because he's so poor he has to make a shitty capacitor which you can by for 40 cents out of shitty materials?
Taunter Atwill ha ha, that's it, I'm dead
I made them into Chinese firecrackers with a flyback transformer. They blew before I could film it.
Likha kya bnaya ky
मुझे नहीं पता। मैंने उन्हें शॉर्ट सर्किट करके फ्लाईबैक ट्रांसफॉर्मर से जोड़ दिया और वे चीनी पटाखों की तरह फूटने लगे, जब तक कि वे जलकर खत्म नहीं हो गए।
mujhe nahin pata. mainne unhen short sarkit karake phlaeebaik traansaphormar se jod diya aur ve cheenee pataakhon kee tarah phootane lage, jab tak ki ve jalakar khatm nahin ho gae.
1/4 of a cm? try an 1/8 of a "
Are you talking about the distance I keep the sheets from each other? Any closer and they will start arcing internally.
🗑
Where you belong, my friend. Trashy people say trashy things.
You did not test it....Very bad.
Thanks for your reply. You're right. I didn't test the capacitors on video. They worked fine until I destroyed them. I used them as some sort of firecrackers.
