It's great! Even the local hoons and theives go and raid a nearby suburb instead of hitting us. Living in East Kookaburra surrounded by capsicum plantations and jaffle shops doesn’t count, we’re talking about the developed world.

idk about california in general but people from san francisco are definitely yankees. they dumb as hell too and keep driving up housing prices because they don't know how much things are supposed to cost when you aren't trapped in a lovely bay.

In osha news my colleague was telling me about capacitors with such low leakage and high capacity that they can kill you without ever being deliberately charged. They charge themselves via static electricity and then kill you when you get them out of storage, never used. poo poo is nuts.

They have a built in shunt that's supposed to discharge them to "less than x volts in y minutes" but nobody trusts that and company rules usually provide that they be externally shorted to prevent a buildup of capacitance charge (edit - while in storage). angryrobots fucked around with this message at 21:53 on Feb 27, 2018 |

Sound Mr. Brown posted:As someone who doesn't know anything about electricity, how are those not a source of free electricity? It's called dielectric absorbtion/relaxation. If you just make a capacitor and leave it sitting around, it's never going to just develop a charge. A capacitor stores energy in the form of potential energy of an electric field. You charge it, it develops a charge on one plate relative to the other. In a perfect capacitor, that's all you'd have, but there are no perfect capacitors. In a real capacitor, the molecules in the dielectric have some dipole moment and some energy is wasted as those dipoles align with the electric field. When you discharge the capacitor, the electric field can drop to zero but some of those dipoles are still aligned with where the field used to be. Eventually, they'll relax into their previous random orientations, but in doing so they generate a little bit of charge on the capacitor. Basically you can think of a cap as not purely a cap, but a cap with a little battery in it. Charge the cap, you also charge the battery. Discharge of the cap happens, and then the battery discharges by putting a little charge back onto the cap. So it's not free electricity, because you're just getting back some of the energy you put into the thing in the first place, energy that did not go into the electric field but went into moving molecular dipoles around. Ideally, that wouldn't happen, and all the energy you put in would go into the field and come out when you wanted it to. It's not like it's going to charge the cap back up to full voltage; for most capacitors you're talking about maybe 1-2% of the capacitor's rating. For big electrolytics, it can be considerably higher than that so you need to keep them shorted for safety's sake.

Sound Mr. Brown posted:As someone who doesn't know anything about electricity, how are those not a source of free electricity? These are really expensive capacitors, charged over long periods of time, and even then, the absolute energy they contain isn’t immense. Nine‐volt batteries can kill under the right conditions, and they don’t contain a great deal of energy either.

Phanatic posted:It's called dielectric absorbtion/relaxation. So basically, just being in the presence of any/many electromagnetic fields can give a capacitor a minute charge, like 1 or 2%, but we're talking 1 or 2% of 10k volts or something, so it's "accidentally making a taser" of a capacitor that's sitting on the shelf doing nothing?

It's not being in the presence of a field, it's that you charged it up and some of the energy of charging *didn't* go into creating an electric field, it went into potential energy of the molecules in the dielectric. Then when you discharge it, the energy that was in the field goes to zero, but the potential energy stored in the dielectric slowly bleeds off, winding up back in the electric field, so it doesn't *stay* at zero.
