   Capacitors
  This isn't really a gamedev question, so sorry first off.  But I'm creating some schematics because I've wanted to get around to making hardware for some time, and now am.  Say I have a battery, two wires, a capacitor, and a resistor.  What I'm wondering is can I just connect the capacitor to the two wires, and then to the battery, or will that restrict current flow?  Thanks in advance!   
  Moved to the Lounge.   ;  The capacitor will simply "charge up" and the current flow will stop once saturation is reached (assuming no current leak).If you want current to continue to flow through, your supply will have to be an AC signal instead of a DC.   ;  So it won't pour out?  How do I make it pour?[Edited by - dbzprogrammer on November 30, 2005 9:26:53 PM];  What do you mean "poor out"? What do you want to pour out, and what will be doing the pouring? What are you trying to accomplish?   ;Quote:Original post by SneftelWhat do you mean "poor out"? What do you want to pour out, and what will be doing the pouring? What are you trying to accomplish?I know the answer. I had the EXACT same problem in my grade 9 electronics class. And by that I mean this is probably somebody asking for homework help.   ;;Quote:Original post by AnonymousPosterChildQuote:Original post by SneftelWhat do you mean "poor out"?

I'm currently looking at EMP design, and how that'd all work.  So could I get a nice answer?  Or am I going to "cheat" on a homework assignment for a class I don't take?Snetfel, do you know what a capacitor is?EDIT: JESUS CHRIST MY RATING WENT DOWN 50!?!?!?!?!   ;Quote:Original post by dbzprogrammerQuote:Original post by AnonymousPosterChildQuote:Original post by SneftelWhat do you mean "poor out"?

You'd be pissing around with 555 timers and logic gates.   ;  I'm beginning because I want to make an EMP.  I saw this one guy like deformed a coke can with it.  That's awesome.

Also, my school website is www.nchs.cc  Go there and look at the circulum, you won't find a electronics class.  If there was one, I'd be taking it next year.
