Build Your Own Transmitting Air Variable Capacitors!
For a 220pf capacitor of 12 plates, 4-1/2" is adequate. Mount these in the back end plate, leaving 3/8" to 1/2" beyond the outside nut. Secure them to the inside using 2 nuts per rail to leave adequate space for the rotor.
Build Your Own Air Variable Capacitors!
Transmitting air variables are becoming scarce and expensive, even at Hamfests, and the kit capacitor from TenTec is over $50.00. This is a viable alternative for medium power projects. Though I have not tested it, I suspect a carefully

6 FAQs about [Equipment for amateur capacitor making]
How to make a variable capacitor?
To make a variable capacitor we need to vary some parameters upon which the capacitance depends, as we saw in the previous step the capacitance value depends on the area and the distance been the parallel plates. We will change the area of interaction of two parallel plates to vary the capacitance.
What is a capacitor used for?
Capacitors have many uses for hobbyists such as in Tesla coils, coil guns, radio transmitters, and filters, but essentially they are just used to store charge. Make sure to read the steps and comments carefully to avoid any personal injury or equipment damage.
How to build a capacitor?
In order to build a capacitor, you have to know what materials you have on hand. I had Lexan and some aluminum tape. They would be easy enough to use, so I picked them. If you are looking for aluminium tape, try a hardware store. It is used to repair ducts in the heating systems of homes. Now for the assembly.
What is a capacitor assembly machine?
In their simplest form, capacitors consist of two conducting plates separated by an insulating material called the dielectric. Capacitor assembly machines may be designed for specific types of plates and dielectrics, and differ in terms of product and performance specifications.
How do you mount a 220pf capacitor?
For a 220pf capacitor of 12 plates, 4-1/2" is adequate. Mount these in the back end plate, leaving 3/8" to 1/2" beyond the outside nut. Secure them to the inside using 2 nuts per rail to leave adequate space for the rotor. Begin mounting the stator plates. First flatten them as much as possible, removing the bows, twists, and curls.
How much does a hamfest capacitor cost?
I suspect if I use significant power, I will probably have to rebuild the capacitor with radiused corners after it arcs over. Transmitting air variables are becoming scarce and expensive, even at Hamfests, and the kit capacitor from TenTec is over $50.00.
