Description
Summary:Specific features of operation of a two-capacitor generator based on overflow of the charge accumulated in capacitors through a load resistance between two capacitors with antiphase modulated capacitances by means of a lateral or planar shift of the electrode plates by applying a mechanical force to moving electrodes are analyzed. Numerical solutions for all generator operation modes are obtained, and they are found to be universal. Analytical estimates of the maximum power of the generator as a function of the capacitance modulation factor are derived. Experimental investigations of a two-capacitor rotor generator show that its characteristics are consistent with the analysis performed and that this analysis can be used to describe all specific features of operation of particular generators.
