  2. Water capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_capacitor

    Water capacitors, being self-discharging, (for totally pure water, only thermally ionized, at 25 °C (77 °F) the ratio of conductivity to permittivity means that self-discharge time is circa 180μs, faster with higher temperatures or dissolved impurities) usually cannot be made to store enough residual electrical energy to cause serious bodily ...

  3. Osmotic power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmotic_power

    Osmotic power, salinity gradient power or blue energy is the energy available from the difference in the salt concentration between seawater and river water.Two practical methods for this are reverse electrodialysis (RED) and pressure retarded osmosis (PRO).

  4. Submarine power cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_power_cable

    The inner and outer conductors of a cable form the plates of a capacitor, and if the cable is long (on the order of tens of kilometres), this will result in a noticeable phase shift between voltage and current, thus significantly decreasing the efficiency of the transmitted power, which is a vector product of current and voltage.

  5. SAL electrolytic capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAL_electrolytic_capacitor

    SAL electrolytic capacitors (SAL meaning solid aluminum) are a form of capacitor developed for high capacitance in a small package, with a long and robust service life. They are aluminum electrolytic capacitors with anodic oxidized aluminum oxide as dielectric and with the semiconducting solid manganese dioxide as electrolyte. They are made of ...

  6. Conductivity (electrolytic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conductivity_(electrolytic)

    Additionally, aquarium enthusiasts are concerned with TDS, both for freshwater and salt water aquariums. Many fish and invertebrates require quite narrow parameters for dissolved solids. Especially for successful breeding of some invertebrates normally kept in freshwater aquariums—snails and shrimp primarily—brackish water with higher TDS ...

  7. Capacitor types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_types

    Capacitors for AC applications are primarily film capacitors, metallized paper capacitors, ceramic capacitors and bipolar electrolytic capacitors. The rated AC load for an AC capacitor is the maximum sinusoidal effective AC current (rms) which may be applied continuously to a capacitor within the specified temperature range.

  8. Liquid rheostat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_rheostat

    A liquid rheostat or water rheostat [1] or salt water rheostat is a type of variable resistor. This may be used as a dummy load or as a starting resistor for large slip ring motors. In the simplest form it consists of a tank containing brine or other electrolyte solution, in which electrodes are submerged to create an electrical load .

  9. Capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor

    For a simplified model of a capacitor as an ideal capacitor in series with an equivalent series resistance, the capacitor's quality factor (or Q) is the ratio of the magnitude of its capacitive reactance to its resistance at a given frequency:
