US 6,608,405 B1 · Method of obtaining the adjustable capacitor

Abstract

The method of obtaining the adjustable capacitor permits transforming all types of capacitors (including Electrolytic, Vacuum, Gas, high-voltage capacitors) into adjustable capacitors without mechanical parts inside capacitors and provides broad ranges of changing the capacity of adjustable capacitors in electric circuits of direct and alternating current and in all types of Marx Generators. The method comprising the steps of: choosing the capacity of one capacitor bigger and connecting said capacitor in series with at least one or two other capacitors; connecting capacitor plates of these capacitors through devices, which change their electrical states; changing the states of said devices within charging and discharging said capacitors and the step of combining plates of said capacitors which ensures the lowest cost price of manufacturing said capacitors. The present invention can be used for controlling the maximum voltage of a load and for changing motor speed.
