Air inductance - water wheel/propeller (turbine) + flywheel, which might be some sort of musical instrument. Air cap. was great demo, I've not seen that before. Air battery - bagpipes.
Doc, you are the best. Love your channel and all your videos. You always explain things simply, clearly and straight to the point. I'm a professional electrical engineer and dont have time to go back to the books.....so I always watch your videos. Thank you for creating this channel.
really good video, I had seen an example of a water capacitor, but its the same thing. Really nice to see it in person though so thanks! Also I take it the dieletric material would be analogous to how strong the membrane is, that being the stronger the material the more energy it can store as it can handle higher air pressures without tearing/bursting.
Do you think it could be used as high pass filter if connect, hermetically sealaled, one end to an ear phone, and place the other end on my ear? Theoretically.
Hey there! I don’t know how useful this comment will be, but hopefully it’s better than nothing. So in the air capacitor, when Doc closed his finger, the movement of air remained on the right side of the container. When he lifted his finger, the air went through the right side of the container. Notice how Doc could slow down the movement of the air going through. If he placed his finger on the right tube and then took it out (and keep repeating this action), he lets the air leave at a much slower rate than if the air went through the container all at a time. Sooooo, what’s keeping the air from going any faster? It is thanks to the Doc’s finger and the membrane which slows done the rate of the air flowing even without Doc blocking the right tube. So, how does this apply to electrical capacitors? Well, instead of air we have charge flowing through the capacitor. Think of the membrane as the resistance (which slows down the flow of charge) and Doc’s finger as the dielectric (an sheet of insulator like paper that is placed between the two plates). Even without the dielectric, the charge, like the air without Doc’s finger, flows through the capacitor at a slower rate than if there was no dielectric. This is because of resistance that had already existed within the conductor (like the membrane of the air capacitor). So as charge flows from the positive to negative side and you add the dielectric (the Doc’s finger), the charge moves a lot slower through the capacitor. Now let’s look at a practical example of this. Whenever you flash your phone, there’s a capacitor that starts the charge and releases it in the form of light energy. Another example could be a your charger. Instead of having all the charge from your wire charging your laptop, a capacitor would slow down that transmit of charge/electricity so your laptop doesn’t burst from all that electricity. Anyways, I hope I helped and pls feel free to send any questions.
@@megscorner3596 literally i got more confused, i am looking for an analogy of a capacitor discharging through a resistor.(specifically i want to be able to create an analogy for any type of RC circuit)
Vous parlez de tous les Condensateurs, c'est bien mais, vous ne parlez pas des Anciens Condensateurs, comme le Condensateur d'Aepinus. Les découvertes de ce Condensateur n'ont pas été finie . . . You're talking about all the Capacitors, that's fine, but, you're not talking about the Old Capacitors, like the Aepinus Capacitor. The discoveries of this Capacitor have not been finished. . .
Admit it, you just wanted an excuse to wear that dope fur coat.
This is the greatest explanation of capacitors ever. EVER. Thank you Doc Physics! I have to go and do ten push ups.
This is the most intuitive analogy of a capacitor, and electronics in general, actually. Thank you so much!
Very interesting metaphorical analogy. Wonderfully creative, and inventive teacher. Thank you!
Hey Doc, great video. Glad to see you still have the same great method of science communication.
Dayum, this guy's videos are insane and I love them

great mechanical analogue demo of explanation of both charge storage, and energy storage in capacitors. well done for your this!
Did... Did a pimp just taught me about capacitors?
This wasn't what I was hoping for but this still works for me
Thanks alot

Nice analogy. Very cool explanations
That's a really nice analogy, congrats!
The flow of liquid and air seems to have a lot of similarities with the flow of electricity.
Good Explenation I really like explanation diffrent stuff with diffrent analogy
Wow that is a wonderful analogy
This is coolest thing i have seen .
great demo
Genius!! One thing to know, another to be able to translate
You should have 1M subscribers.
Excellent video Sir,
Origin of the air - far chamber
Direction after opening the valve- near to far chamber ...
Is this correct??🤔
An Air Electrolytic Capacitor, wonderful. Now will the Air Electrolytic do any smoothing?
beautiful!
The pump is an analogue of the cell / battery since it provides a voltage difference for current to flow , @Doc Schuster ?

Brilliant! Yes, you'd need to find some way to get internal friction in the membrane REALLY small.
Wish I saw this during Year 13 in school!
this is how to be a good architecht here.
king of capacitors
I think it went from the left to the right.
Hi.
I still don't really get how I can apply this knowledge to understand how an electrical capacitor works. The comparison is not obvious to me.

Looki good in grandma's disco clad. Mr professor
Doc I need you to define air capacitor
This is it!!
This is supposed to make turbos possible somehow for a single cylinder engine motorcycles
Thanks dad
Super cool clothes and demo...more of these please :)
brilliant
Feels like maybe I accidentally dropped acid before watching this..
Vacuum in play
did you poke tiny holes in the balloon?
Time poked the holes in the balloon.
Doc Schuster sooooo......yeah?
@@colloidalsilver177 i think he's saying that he didn't poke the holes, but they're just there because the membrane is old.
@@DocSchuster u poked the holes in the ballon by observing it
..cuz time is quantized
It equalized pressure..
Cool dresse but better be green shaghy 😜
Sir you look like Stannis Baratheon😂
Physics
Right to left
I'm wondering why you dressed like an eskimo
💜💜💜
I’m lost
Okay, when are we gonna learn about capacitors?

You're talking about all the Capacitors, that's fine, but, you're not talking about the Old Capacitors, like the Aepinus Capacitor.

Artificial intelligence can you tell me what a air capacitor is..
