Here's some light reading for you. You might find something useful. ;) http://www.electricalengineering-book.co...ered-part4.html It appears to be an order site, but it has capacitior info with electrical motor applications. Are you building your own powerplant?
From physics here is the formula for capacitance with a parallel plate capacitor:
The amount of charge that can be stored in a capacitor is measured by its capacitance. A capacitor of one Farad (F) can store one Coulomb of charge for every Volt that is applied to the capacitor. The formula for this is:
C = q/v
Where C is the capacitance in Farads, q is the charge in Coulombs, and v is the electric potential in Volts.
For a parallel plate capacitor, the capacitance is given by the following formula:
C = ε 0A/d
Where C is the capacitance in Farads, ε 0 is the constant for the permittivity of free space (8.85x10 -12), A is the area of the plates in square meters, and d is the spacing of the plates in meters.
A Farad is a very large quantities of capacitance, so we will use metric prefixes to produce more usable numbers. Capacitance is normally measured in microfarads (”F) which is 1.0x10 -6F or picofarads (pF) which is 1.0x10 -12F. 1.0F = 1,000,000”F = 1,000,000,000,000pF! Be very careful with your calculations!

Ohhhhhhhhh, thanks PacMan777. That is just the type of reading I like. Not the formula I am looking for but fascinating all the same. Really thanks, very cool list of equations! Plenty to keep me busy while my backups are encoding!

What are you going to do with the information, take a test or build something? Or is that your idea of light reading? ;)

Yes! I am indeed building my own power plant. (Gotta do something to keep busy since leaving the city) I live in such a remote area now that they do not predict utilities (phone, electric, etc) until at least 2070.
I am using 40uF capacitors now and getting good induction but I am wanting more per usual and there is a more detailed calculation for determining the capacitance required for the most efficient power generation.
I WILL BE CAREFUL!!!!!!!! I re-wired today for the high voltage setting (gained 3.3 amps) and it is three phase... I am often teased about my safety paranoia, but I am still here to tell ya about it, so there, hmmmmmf.

Wow, a gal that likes 80's punk, rockabilly and knows electricity!
I was a commercial/industrial electrician for a number of years, love the Milkmen and can't get enough of The Blasters and The Polecats :)
Ironically I have some electrical sidework to do tomorrow and need to get up way too early so good night all..........

Right. You can't find a woman like that everyday. Too bad there aren't more of them. ;)
My hats off to you kitty66. Good luck with the generator and keep up the safety precautions. A person needs to observe safety when working with something as dangerous as electricity. There's plenty of characters in the cemetery that took too many chances.

@ Nephilim I so so love the milkmen, silly punk has a big place in my life. Can you beat it with a stick, hell no! I can't look at a camero without giggling, can you! Gotta love the blasters, Dave played for X for awhile too! Have a good night don't work too hard tomorrow.
@PacMan777 I will be careful. World domination cannot be obtained from one's grave...at least I don't think so... And yes (insert expletive of choice) the best info is for sale...That looks like just the thing I was looking for too. I may buy it yet. You rock finding something that fast I have been looking for weeks now.
PS. The ol' man thinks one like me in this world is quite enough. "Any more and revolution would be inevitable..."

Hey Adriana!
I didn't get the disk one done. All the others went fine. And the program you suggested backed up a few old moldy disks I had around that were before unreadable. I am still waiting to hear from AnyDVD back on the info I sent them. Hopefully they will be able to help and AnyDVD will be back to the fabulous program I paid for...
I think I must have gotten a bad disk on that one. I am going to have to take it back. Whenever I get to town! Congrats on your team doing well!

give the AnyDVD ripper a shot if that doesn't work you def. have a bad/scratched dvd there
and Colts all the way!!! lol

Thank you. Did I mention I actually took physics (don't remember a lot of it), do my own electrical work, and understand AC and DC circuits. ;) Helps when doing the googling. LOL
If you're having problems with scratched discs, DVD Decrypter has been found to be a good ripper for reading them. It reads at slow speeds, plus the settings can be adjusted. You can use it along with AnyDVD, just turn off the CSS cracking, uncheck the Check for Structure Protection and have Microsoft or Elby for the Interface (I use Microsoft). Since the AnyDVD ripper incorporates FixVTS you can download a newer version and use it manually if needed (that's usually for copy protection cleanup).
There's also resurfacing tools you can use to remove superficial scratches. If you have many of those scratched DVDs one might come in handy. You can usually find those in places like Wal Mart. I even saw one for sale in a DVD rental shop that sells used DVDs. I get used DVDs all the time and my disc tool has saved a lot of them.
Excuse me for putting informational posts in a social forum. LOL Morning everybody. Hope you've already enjoyed the coffee and donuts. It's getting on up in the morning here. ;)

Hello All! No time to hang around today but I wanted to say hello. I've just returned from a luncheon at the Bellevue Hotel here in Philly ... magnificient place but it just never recovered from bringing the world legionairres disease way back when. I love to mention it to people in the middle of lunch or dinner LOL!

@ireland,
That $1.98 ain't gonna that far with me. lol. I can pass on the VODKA but that QUADRUPLE looks scrumptious.

You know the Burger King quad stacker? I went in just to hassle them and asked for them to put two quad stackers together. I called it an octo stacker. I got the idea from a youtube video :P
BTW, I never got my burger. They won't serve food that isn't on their menus. lol

OMG that would be heaven huh lol
BTW anyone having trouble with AnyDVD and Spysweeper confliting?
my PC froze while encoding a dvd i rebooted twice and everything was still froze and then i got a message about program not ending for spysweeper so i booted to safemode and remove the program hmmmm

Couldn't you just turn off Spysweeper. I used to have it and didn't have any interference. I left it turned off a lot though. LOL

Good afternoon all! Well, this is pretty cool: I just got a couple of tickets to go see King Tut and a couple of his long dead buddies on exhibit in Philly in a couple of weeks. From the sound of the information, methinks the bodies of Tut and his buddies are going to remain in egypt but the sarcophagi (sp?) and other old, elaborate golden goodies will be exhibited. Should be pretty cool anyway even if the ol' boy stays home.

Cool, sounds good to me. I think the Egyptians are fascinating as a race. Always been interested by Anceint Egyptology; LOL. :-)
