This weeks theme on #FlickrFriday, #BacktotheFuture. Dr. Emmett Brown was on to something the day he hit his head and came up with the Flux Capacitor. Now if only he could find the 1.21 Gigawatts of power necessary to power his Flux Capacitor, time travel would be possible. So following Ohms Law, Dr Brown would soon realize that voltage x amperage would = 1.21 Gigawatts.
Feel free to leave a comment or fave.
Thanks for looking.
Drove in to work last Thursday, and saw that the capacitor tree was just a couple tangled tubes anchored to the ground.
One of the coolest functional art pieces at the lab, though in recent years it had been relegated to simply art.

When the capacitor goes bad the shutter will not work and the mirror locks up. The only way to fix it is to replace the capacitor and this camera needs a new one.

While still in limited use today, tuning capacitors were far more common in radio transmitters and receivers from prior years. The capacitor, coupled with an inductor (coil) form a resonant "L/C" circuit. The resonant frequency depends on the value of the inductor and capacitor.
Rotating the knob to have more of the plate area overlapping gives a higher capacitance while rotating it to have less overlap yields a lower capacitance.
This allows the user to change the resonant frequency of the circuit and thereby tune to different stations in a radio receiver or adjust the output frequency on a transmitter.
The straight edge of a plate in this capacitor is approximately 1.5".
In honor of youth participating in the March for Our Lives this past weekend. (Blue = color and mood, but in America, blue also stands for more liberal states or areas, often associated with the Democratic party.)

Blue and turquoise ceramic disc capacitors, total array 2.75 inches wide.
Three terminals of a busted run capacitor (used in air conditioner).
Shot with an old Nikon Series E 50mm lens, reverse mounted, on Nikon D7200.
The surface on which these terminals are on is 2 inches in diameter. The terminals are no higher than 1/2 inch.
An inexpensive speedlight-clone, camera-left, with blue gel, was used to light this subject. At 1/16 power, about 6 inches from the subject, and pointing at the subject, it was triggered by camera's built-in flash in commander mode. Another speedlight-clone, camera-right, with red-gel, at 1/4 power, in optical-slave mode and about 6 inches from the subject, was triggered by the other speedlight (camera-left). The third speedlight-clone, at /128 power and also in optical slave mode, less than 6 inches above the subject and pointing at the subject was triggered by one of the other two flashes. Light from the flashes was not diffused.

A small portion of one of the circuit cards inside a Dolby CP65 cinema sound processor, a long-discontinued model that was introduced before 35mm films contained digital soundtracks.
This card has circuit traces (its “wiring,” in a sense) on both sides of the card, an improvement over the traditional way circuit boards were made. I backlit the card to reveal the circuit traces on both sides.
Found the reason for why the switch mode did stop working.
It seems like the C25 died and took the R4 resistor with it in the fall.
The SMPS is based on the LNK364PN for those interested in such things. :o)
Various parts from my electronics box laid out "knolling" style on my breadboard.
Anyone familiar with breadboards will immediately see that this "circuit" doesn't do anything. The breadboard is just holding/aligning the parts.
Seen here are a couple capacitors, three resistors
four jumpers and three red LED lights surrounding a National Semiconductor LM3909N monolithic oscillator. The LM3909N was a special purpose IC specifically designed to flash an LED using very low power so it could run a year or more on one "C" battery.
Standard DIP pin spacing is 0.1" making this photo approximately 1.4" across.
A capacitor charging through a resistor takes some time: T( in seconds) = R ( in ohm) x C (in farad).
The time constant of this circuit would be about 2.2 seconds.....

A close-up view of the capacitor bank in a small municipal substation. These capacitors with glass bushings are nearly extinct in the wild, because the insulating fluid inside is PCB "oil", which has not been used in transformers and high-voltage capacitors since the late 1970s.
Ceramics are widely used in electronics (chip packages, insulators, capacitors, resistors, inductors, fuse blocks, etc.). Here are just two examples. Ferrite is a ferromagnetic ceramic used for making things like inductors, transformers and chokes. The bulge you often find on the power or data cord to one of your computer, stereo or television devices is a piece of ferrite around the cord that blocks high-frequency signals picked up by the wire from interfering with the electronics. The two ferrite rings in this photo are about 30mm/1.2" across.
The white ceramic insulating spacers hold the fixed and the rotating sides of the variable capacitor apart from each other.

This is a capacitor, it feeds a fly-back of a CRT. Cathode ray tube. The fly-back Transformer is the thing that traces the line across a terminal screen and makes the picture in your old computer terminals. The fly-back is rated at 25,000 volts I would drain the fly back with a grounded screwdriver. If the break in the circuit was between the capacitor and the Transformer, the capacitor would remain charged. I touched a charged capacitor with my index finger once. It punched a hole in my finger 1 millimeter in diameter and Two millimeters Deep, and cauterized the wound at the same time. This benign looking thing is very dangerous. ps. One of my cats was killed by the discharge of a CRT, several years ago. She was playing with a wire on a TV.
In honor of Back to the Future Day, I give you the flux capacitor!

My second build for the ABS Builder Challenge.
I don't know why when I saw my Siberian blue Iris that stuck in my mind
from back to the future movie....LOL perhaps its the shape that I saw from the top,
Have a great week ahead my friends!!!!
This how the capacitor looks:-)
The use of capacitors (condensators) in flasholders as introduced in the early 1950s led to a more reliable performance of flash photography . This particular one is a Kodak Kodablitz flasholder , made in Germany .
If you want to see how I made this (and how you can too!), visit my HDR Tutorial. I hope it gives you some new tricks!

Alias: Capacitor
Real Name: Clifford Mason
Alignment: Vigilante
Abilities: Super Speed, Electrokinesis, and Magnetism.
Weakness: High amounts of water
Age 22
Origin: His Father was once a hero named Capacitor, and was stopped crime for 20 years. Clifford knew his father’s secret identity and admired his father for the hero he was. One day, Clifford realized that he had inherited his dad’s power and after that he wanted to be his dad’s sidekick, but his dad refused. He knew the dangers of being a super hero, and he didn’t want to lose his son because of it. Clifford was mad, but that all changed when Clifford’s father was murdered by his arch-enemy, Phantom Spectre. Ever since that day Clifford vowed to take Phantom Spectre down. That was the day he became Capacitor!
Redux 2017: Reviving the MM theme "May 22: Chip(s)"
The black 14-pin IC package in the center contains a "chip" inside (a silicon chip). This circuit board was in an old desktop tower computer. It's job was to let the computer connect to Wi-Fi.
These days your thermostat connects to Wi-Fi using a tiny chip probably as big as a few surface-mount capacitors (C6 in the picture above). Isn't technology wonderful?
For this image, I used more conventional product-shot lighting with a Speedlight flash and softbox. The Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM has pretty good macro ability, particularly combined with an extension tube.
HMM!
We opted for start point this morning given the forecast and clearer skies to the south. Dartmoor seemed a unlikely location. The crepuscular rays were awesome as the sun rose. I thought the rays and sun reflection looked like the flux capacitor from Back to the Future.
The capacitor in one of my ceiling fans blew quite a while ago, and I kept putting off re-wiring a new one in for the longest time. Today, that "To Do List" item got a big red checkmark next to it.

In the Time Before the Flux Capacitor

Before the DeLorean, there was this vintage time machine. Consequently, I am posting this three days from now. Stationary and handheld lights used. It's more fun than AI-generated images. Photographed while Tim Little and I were teaching a night photography workshop at Nelson Ghost Town in Nevada.
