  • Capacitive Battery

    If you make a capacitor out of aluminum plates, and electrically glue carbon or resistive plates to the aluminum ones, and use a dielectric between the sets of plates. where the input is on the aluminum plates where the output is on the resistive plates. Would it charge quickly thru the aluminum plates and discharge slowly thru the resistive plates. Making a fast charging battery ? Has anyone ever...

    The capacitor would definite charge faster when a voltage source is connected to the Aluminum plates. The semi conducting layer will provide smoothness in the equipotential lines and reduce the voltag...
