🔌🤖 Oh great, another #podcast about #circuits, because clearly what the world needs is more talk about #resistors and capacitors! 🎧 Meanwhile, Michał Zalewski, aka lcamtuf, is apparently so #electrifying that you'll need a surge protector just to handle his #insights. ⚡✨

Ceramic capacitor voltage sensitivity.

I looked up a Samsung 1206 22uF 25V X5R capacitor on their website.

Huge variation in capacitance against voltage. At the rated voltage the capacitance goes down by 90%.

Way more than I ever imagined! Would make a good VCO!

How #chemists turned #bourbon waste into #supercapacitors
Hydrothermal carbonization can directly convert #stillage into hard or #ActivatedCarbon. Cossio & Guzman used activated carbon as #electrodes, creating double-layer #capacitors by putting liquid electrolyte between them. Proof-of-concept devices were able to store as much as 48W/kg. Built a hybrid device, with one activated carbon electrode and one hard carbon electrode, stored as much as 25 times the energy per kg

Dyson Vacuums And The Curse Of Cooked Capacitors

It seems to be becoming a bit of a theme that consumer electronics are dying not due to some critical fault, but due to Cooked Capacitor Syndrome (CCS). Case in point, Dyson handheld vacuums and th…
