>> Capacitors are devices that provide electrical energy storage of two types.

2
00:00:22,410 --> 00:00:31,665
One, where there's two conducting surfaces with an insulator between so that one side,

3
00:00:31,665 --> 00:00:34,470
when you apply a voltage to it,

4
00:00:34,470 --> 00:00:37,550
it can't get through the insulator,

5
00:00:37,550 --> 00:00:44,310
so it piles up as charge at every little atom on both sides,

6
00:00:44,310 --> 00:00:49,420
one plus and one minus, and stores energy.

7
00:00:52,580 --> 00:01:01,550
Polypropylene, when it's built in a manner where it's stretched in two sides,

8
00:01:01,550 --> 00:01:07,400
it comes out as a film, and then you stretch it both lengthwise and

9
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:16,620
sideways to orient all the molecules in the direction of the surface of the film.

10
00:01:17,930 --> 00:01:23,680
Roll up the film and send it into the winding machines, so it wind

11
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:32,120
it into with the aluminum foil we are making to make the capacitors.

12
00:01:35,990 --> 00:01:42,290
The other one was stored energy with the similar thing except that

13
00:01:42,290 --> 00:01:49,145
the insulator level is the metal oxide.

14
00:01:49,145 --> 00:01:54,980
The insulating film is deposited by anodizing aluminum,

15
00:01:54,980 --> 00:02:02,580
and you get very high capacitor levels with electrolytic capacitors.

16
00:02:02,580 --> 00:02:08,300
So, both tantalum oxide and aluminum oxide are

17
00:02:08,300 --> 00:02:17,930
very good preventers from electrons escaping their surfaces.

18
00:02:17,930 --> 00:02:20,030
That's what a capacitor is.

19
00:02:20,030 --> 00:02:24,270
It's a storage of electric charge.
