Confuses me that anybody would downvote you for this. I’ve made makeshift capacitors out of rolled aluminum foil. It’s dumb, but it worked for what I wanted (triggering a trackpad via stepper motors for testing microcontroller code.) Plus I just wanted to see if it even worked. Life = science experiments.
Lol this one was great, thanks for sharing. My partner teaches physics and I do EE on the side, I like rubbing these in her face sometimes.
That’s a fantastic video. I follow Numberphile but never saw this one, thanks for sharing.
