Cappy is the undisputed leader of the gang. He's always cooking up wild plans, and there's a funny running gag that his capacitance value varies with his mood. Cappy talks with a West County English accent, that classic 'pirate' accent, and his famous saying is 'smooth sailing.'
**About Electrolytic Caps**:
In 1886, Charles Pollk discovered the basic idea of electrolytic capacitors and got a patent in 1897 for a borax - based one. These capacitors use an electrolyte to create an oxide layer on a metal plate. A paper sheet soaked in electrolyte is placed on the oxide layer, and then another metal foil goes on top of the paper. The electrolyte and metal foil form the cathode, while the foil with the oxide layer is the anode. Since this oxide layer is very thin, these capacitors can have much higher capacitance than standard rolled or stacked ones.
Using Cappy the Capacitor plushie is super easy! It's mainly for play and decoration. You can place it on your desk in your circuit - related workspace or use it as a cute companion during your study. As for maintenance, keep it away from sharp objects to avoid any tears. If it gets dirty, gently hand - wash it with mild soap and cold water, then let it air - dry. Be careful not to expose it to excessive heat or moisture. That way, Cappy will stay in great shape and keep bringing fun for a long time.
