6 FAQs about [Asymmetric capacitor effect]
How do asymmetrical capacitors work?
The high voltage was provided to the capacitors by the high-voltage power supply ( see Fig. 1 for a scheme). When such a power supply was switched on, the two asymmetrical capacitors began to rotate and accelerate quickly up to high speeds.
How much force does a asymmetrical capacitor have?
Our experimental measurements indicated the presence of a small, but persistent force in the scale of mgf, mainly for high values of the high voltage applied such as 6 kV on the asymmetrical capacitor, with maximum value for the force 278.83 mgf, for the maximum voltage applied (up to 6 kV) on the device sample.
Can asymmetrical capacitors be used as lifters?
Some different independent experiments [ 7] performed with asymmetrical capacitors as lifters using air as dielectric seem to indicate that such an effect can be possible, that is, the devices present anomalous variations of their weights or even levitation when they are subjected to the regime of high voltage applied.
What are Asymmetrical Capacitor Thrusters?
These asymmetric capacitors became known as Asymmetrical Capacitor Thrusters (ACT). The Biefeld–Brown effect can be observed in ionocrafts and lifters, which utilize the effect to produce thrust in the air without requiring any combustion or moving parts.
Do asymmetric capacitors exert a net force?
C. Fazi (Army Research Laboratory(ARL)) and T. Bahder (ARL) have fabricated three simple asymmetric capacitors, using the designs reported on the Internet In all three cases, we have verified that a net force is exerted on the capacitors when a high D. C. voltage is applied to the electrodes.
Do asymmetric capacitors work in high electric potentials?
In this study, the authors analysed an anomalous force observed in asymmetric capacitors, working in high electric potentials. From a lot of experimental measurements performed in their asymmetric capacitor, they detected real variations of the device inertia.
