    Every now and then I'll post a step or two on how to make a capacitor.

    It is. And this capacitor is designed to work. I don't know why it's in the sandbox, but I might as well continue with the instructions.
    1. Cut the foil sheets into equal areas, and cut some of the paper to a slightly larger area. Keep the areas small so that you will not have to work with large areas of foil and paper. Glue one of the foil sheets to the paper on one side, and repeat for the other side. Wait until they dry. Make sure that the foil contacts don't touch because otherwise it won't capacitate anything. I'll post step 2 later. You might want to put this in a book press so it won't curl up.

    I think that in order for this thread to continue, it might be necessary to move it out of the sandbox.

    I know why it was moved.
    Actually, I tested mine on a capacitance checker, and it had 230 uF of capacity. It wasn't very much, but it was certainly a working capacitor.

    Sorry, that's only in DC. "uF" is the closest I can get to "micro farats".

    Either focus on capacitors or stop posting here. If Ben won't move it out of the sandbox there's no point in asking him to.

    Don't tell me what to do. I used the LCR bridge to test a new capacitor today in DC. It was 6.55 micro farats.
