ok I think I understand, thank you. from the bright side I hope I just made your tolerance level before you reach grumpiness a lot higher. :D
Can the Dielectric Permittivity of a Material Be Altered?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the potential for altering the dielectric permittivity of materials used in capacitors, specifically exploring methods to achieve variable permittivity through external interactions such as electric or magnetic fields. Participants highlight that while temperature can influence dielectric constant, practical applications remain limited. The conversation also touches on the feasibility of creating a capacitor that acts as a charge pump by varying its dielectric properties, with references to materials like Barium Titanate and the concept of varactor diodes for variable capacitance. Ultimately, the need for a mechanism to change permittivity without violating energy conservation principles is emphasized.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of dielectric materials and their properties
- Familiarity with capacitor theory and operation
- Knowledge of electric and magnetic field interactions
- Basic principles of energy conservation in electrical circuits
- Research Barium Titanate and its applications in capacitors
- Explore the functionality of varactor diodes for variable capacitance
- Investigate methods for controlling dielectric properties through external fields
- Study energy transfer mechanisms in capacitive circuits
Electrical engineers, materials scientists, and anyone involved in capacitor design or applications in electronic circuits will benefit from this discussion.

It's like water on stone - you get to me eventually.

Are you familiar with the 'beans' sequence in Blackadder?

I just looked up the show , sitcom apparently , well no I was not aware of this, but I greatly appreciate and personally like many of Rowan Atkinsons works, Mr. Bean would be probably the greatest , also some of his tv fun stuff before the Mr.Bean era.
I just put Blackadder on my downloads , will check it out, thanks.
So what the sequence is about ?
I hope it's not about those kinda unpleasant words written in the premise : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackadder
:D

Ah. Different TV culture.
Lord Blackadder is trying to use a discussion about beans to teach his manservant Baldrick, arithmetic. Baldrick is only interested in beans as something to eat. You have been, similarly ignoring the Maths in favour of a chat and some arm waving. He is constantly criticising poor Baldrick in every episode. Baldrick always tries his best.

Oh I see, well I'm not good at maths so whenever one doesn't speak about QM or some other math heavy things , I try to talk in language which is called common english :D
I no doubt agree that math would be better but I think one can undersatnd caps without it too, their not that cpmplocated.I do realize that this statement probably made you loose some of your hair at the very instant you finished reading it. :D
i promise if i ever will get lucky in making some device , I'll denote money to your hair restoration. :)

The fact is that Capacitors and the rest of electrical circuit work is complicated. The only language that describes most electrical phenomena well enough is Maths. In fact, the whole of Science uses Maths and has done since the time when Newton, Leibnitz and others started to get it systematised. Refusing to use Maths will pretty soon end up with that bridge collapsing or a fuse blowing. That's not to say you can't do construction projects and have success. But understanding what happened would be another thing altogether. 'Common English' doesn't put up satellites or make your computer work.
Your English is really fine, btw. I could not hope to discuss things to such a level in any other language as you are doing in English. I can socialise OK in French but it would be hard to get across any Science concepts.
I'm looking forward to receiving that cheque in the post. I will go straight down to the hairdresser's and sort out a wig for myself when it comes.
