I was invited to speak at the 11th Hardware Developers Didactic Galactic group at the Supplyframe office in San Francisco. I talked about the misconception that capacitors are a simple device.

Chris Gammell recorded the discussion and posted it via PHY Media. This video is about 50 minutes.

In this talk, I break down a few things to know about Ceramic, Aluminum, Tantalum, and Supercapacitors. You can see the full video via PHY Media’s YouTube Channel: They’re JUST Capacitors. For links and the slides, check out this post.

  1. Well done! Your presentation style is perfect. Just one small comment : in Europe we changed the “dielectric constant” to “permittivity” as it turns out the property is anything else than constant 😉

    • Yeah… 🙂 I realized during that presentation how silly it sounded to say it changed the dielectric constant.
