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

00:00:22.410 --> 00:00:31.665
One, where there's two conducting surfaces with an insulator between so that one side,

00:00:31.665 --> 00:00:34.470
when you apply a voltage to it,

00:00:34.470 --> 00:00:37.550
it can't get through the insulator,

00:00:37.550 --> 00:00:44.310
so it piles up as charge at every little atom on both sides,

00:00:44.310 --> 00:00:49.420
one plus and one minus, and stores energy.

00:00:52.580 --> 00:01:01.550
Polypropylene, when it's built in a manner where it's stretched in two sides,

00:01:01.550 --> 00:01:07.400
it comes out as a film, and then you stretch it both lengthwise and

00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:16.620
sideways to orient all the molecules in the direction of the surface of the film.

00:01:17.930 --> 00:01:23.680
Roll up the film and send it into the winding machines, so it wind

00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:32.120
it into with the aluminum foil we are making to make the capacitors.

00:01:35.990 --> 00:01:42.290
The other one was stored energy with the similar thing except that

00:01:42.290 --> 00:01:49.145
the insulator level is the metal oxide.

00:01:49.145 --> 00:01:54.980
The insulating film is deposited by anodizing aluminum,

00:01:54.980 --> 00:02:02.580
and you get very high capacitor levels with electrolytic capacitors.

00:02:02.580 --> 00:02:08.300
So, both tantalum oxide and aluminum oxide are

00:02:08.300 --> 00:02:17.930
very good preventers from electrons escaping their surfaces.

00:02:17.930 --> 00:02:20.030
That's what a capacitor is.

00:02:20.030 --> 00:02:24.270
It's a storage of electric charge.
