Can This Circuit be Used for Charge Recycling?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on whether capacitors C1 and C3 can discharge into C2 and C4 in the proposed circuit for charge recycling. It is noted that capacitors typically require a resistor to discharge, leading to the assertion that, in an ideal scenario, C1 and C3 would not discharge into C2 and C4. However, the possibility of using discharged charge from the upper capacitors to charge the lower capacitors is explored, suggesting that this could be feasible since the capacitors are positioned in the output section. The conversation highlights the potential for output voltage or current, indicating a belief in the viability of charge recycling in this configuration. Overall, the circuit's design and connections play a crucial role in determining the effectiveness of 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?
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
