Can This Circuit be Used for Charge Recycling?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the potential for charge recycling in a circuit involving capacitors C1, C2, C3, and C4. Participants debate whether capacitors can discharge into one another without a resistor, concluding that in an ideal scenario, C1 and C3 cannot discharge into C2 and C4. However, it is established that if the circuit is not grounded and is connected to another circuit, the discharged charge from the upper capacitors can indeed be utilized to charge the lower capacitors, thereby facilitating charge recycling.

hi

will c1 and c3 discharge in c2 and c4 in this circuit? and can something like this be used for charge recycling?

As far as I know a capacitor needs a resistor to discharge.So I think in above circuit considering ideal situation,they can't discharge.If I m wrong please tell me.
 


the normal inverter circuit like the one in the right the nmos is grounded and the load capacitor will dissipate it's charge in the nmos
i am wondering if it is not a ground and the circuit is connected to another circuit can i use the discharged charge from the upper capacitors to charge the lower capacitors?
 


I think definitely we can do it because the capacitors are at output section and definitely it will get some output either voltage or current.Isn't it?
