Super Capacitor Tutorial! 

Thanks for the feedback - this capacitor is bi-polar so either terminal can be used for positive or negative. As for other data, I hope to be acquiring the proper equipment to measure these values soon, in the meantime, perhaps someone would like to re-create and share the approx. ratings here. To prevent overloads (when over 10,000v +), leave a .5 to 1 cm gap between the adjustable overload electrodes, I haven't found anything that can overcome the dielectric breakdown of these 5mm laminate sheets at those distances yet - I know the cap handles the output of flyback transformers and other high voltage sources very well, and it's also the polymer the laminate sheets are made out of and the process that the plastic is stretched which makes it such an excellent dielectric barrier. (I've tried MANY materials, this one by far has had the best performance) I hope to make an update video in the future with upgrades and the ratings data, until then, from my research this is probably the best HV cap other than salt water that you can currently find as a DIY on youtube - it's a solid cap that gets the job done =)

haha thanks, those are some of my first, older videos - be sure to check out some of the new =)

Always have an electrician check your shorts...

Yes 127 microns.... I think 120 microns is a standard thickness.

Exactly. The supercars are made with graphene. They are fairly easy to make in your kitchen and Robert Murray has a video on that....

Did you build it? Did you test it? These are the most powerful caps you can build that keep their charge.

No it's not. This is the easiest type to make but not the best or only one. But you did a really good job honestly. I've tried making similar and it didn't work. People are just giving you a hard time. I guess people who happen to know a little about capacitors are also highly technical and think your title is not good or not accurate idk...

The trick is as long as you pull gently when it gets to the foil part (you should see me do that too in the video), everything will push through just fine =)

Well I don't know the capacitance of the ones he has made cuz I have not made them this is more of a standard capacitor than it is a supercapacitor so its rating will be somewhere around the same I would guess around 3ish farad

These were my earliest videos and I don't have the necessary equipment yet still, though I am always learning and trying. Any donations would much be appreciated, every cent and a lot of my grocery money goes towards these useful videos and world first experiments. Turning on CC 'closed captions' can also help - hope you enjoy my efforts! 😀

These are HV super caps - you can add layers or use a larger tube to increase capacitance / energy storage. Because of the tight roll and other great design factors, unless you have access to a factory, these are the best high-quality, high-voltage capacitors you can easily make by yourself and by conventional means.

Have you attempted to ré-create it? How are you so sure that Otis a scam?
