From: Neo on 5 Jul 2010 14:04 I know transformers are magnetically coupled inductors, and when an AC current is passed thru one inductor, it produces alternating magnetic fields, which then induces current in the near by inductor...(pls dont go into technical of it,with formulas and blah blah blah.i have noticed a strange thing out here ppl miss the question and start explaining the concept in detail...pls dont do that) I was wondering can the same thing be achieved by two capacitors linked by electric fields?? is there such a concept in existence? links...

Capacitive coupling is real enough but requires an enormous voltage to be effective, and that is simply not practical. In any real experiment you'd find the voltage arcs over. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GiIVze2Tac http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_NEAEGeFIw Perhaps the closest you'll get is a pair of radio transmitter and receiver antennae. The voltage at the transmitter can be in kilovolts, but only microvolts in the receiver. A broadcast FM radio transmitter can reach about 60 miles. Of course if the signal is beamed using a dish it can reach Saturn. http://cassini3d.com/images/cassini_1.png

Not completely wrong. People have noticed that one can set up an electrostatic analog to an electromagnetic situation. If you were to scan the literature on network theory you would find many references to capacitive transformers as theoretical devices useful in the calculation of network solutions. They are just not practical devices you can go buy at Radio Shack. Certain Piezo filters are about as close as you can get to a practical capacitive transformer.

The nearest I can get to your suggestion is a capacitor ladder but that's not quite the same.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_multiplier http://www.reuk.co.uk/Making-Voltage-Doublers-and-Multipliers.htm

I see what you are getting at now and yes it could be made to work. Three capacitors in series also works. |
