I have a 6400 Farad capacitor bank. It is composed of 16 400 Farad caps rated for 2.7V. Im not sure for what Ill need it but right now it doesnt have any 2.7 Volt power supply to charge it. Just a demonstration on EC.

one idea, split them in 2 x 8 x 400 and connect them in series you can make a portable USB power bank.

@hurz Thanks for the idea! I used a capacitor calculator and the outcomes of your suggested setup can hold nearly twice the energy! Thanks!

Wait, the joule rating is twice as high than the previous set up but te wattage is at a 4th of the original wattage, why is this?????

standard power bank chips with 5V booster do have 3 to 4.2V battery limit (lithium ion), dont forget

the organisation of caps (how many parallel or series) does not change the energy you can store. The energy is always equal in any topology. however the voltage does change and makes it more applicable for different tasks.

Ok, I’m imagining two hypothetical 1V 1F capacitors in series vs in parallel. If they are in parallel they have 2F at 1V. Since it’s 2F, it’s two coulombs per volt, with a max voltage of one volt for a max storage of two coulombs. If they’re in series it makes a 1F 2V capacitor bank. Since it’s 1F it has only one coulomb per volt, but it has a max voltage of 2V for a total of two coulombs. So, no matter the arrangement, two capacitors with a one coulomb capacity will make a capacitor bank of two coulombs. However, since coulombs are a measure of current over time (one amp for a duration of one second), it says nothing about joules (power over time, one watt for a duration of one second) without a measure of voltage. Since the series configuration can store twice as much voltage as the parallel configuration, the series configuration does in fact store twice as many joules. So, @hurz, by “the organization of caps does not change the energy you can store” you must mean coulombs, right? Because if you mean joules then I need an explanation on how the parallel configuration can store as many joules as the series configuration. @sshsslfun, what do you mean by quarter the wattage? Both setups should give same wattage when fully charged, but the series one should have four times the discharge time because it can handle half the current but twice the voltage.

in series of 1F you get only 0.5F in total. This is compared to the parallel configuration 2F the factor 4 here we have the quardatic dependency. The energy in any topology is equal.

@hurz ... No ... The total voltage in each of your schematic circuits should be 1v as per each battery ... not the 2v which you have used in your Serial calculations. The total energy in the parallel circuit capacitors should be 1J  and there should be four times more total energy stored in those parallel circuit capacitors (ie 1J total) compared with the energy stored in your series circuit capacitors which should be 0.25J total ... The parallel and series energy totals would not be equal in those component similar-value setups.... Where did your 2v come from?

@2ctiby, @hurz just follows through @jason9's mind experiment. "I'm imagining two hypothetical 1V 1F capacitors in series vs in parallel". I don't see any problems with that an as far as I know he calculated everything perfectly fine.

@ViolationMad ... The calculation is wrong, and if jason9 had said that 57v or 243v etc is correct in that mentioned 2v place then would hurz have carried on using that as though it was appropriate.

The original idea is to build a power bank which is in voltage between 3V and 4.2V for lithium ion (chips are plenty available). I dont care any tricks or misstakes or blabla you make by calculating anything, its your problem. A single capacitor can only work with upto 2.7V before it gets damaged. so we put two of them in series and we can go upto 5.4V if nicely balanced! This is what i recommend as a quick idea to make practical reuse of @sshsslfun 16 capacitors. lol

@hurz ... your link circuits calculations wrongly describe a false energy result for your shown circuits there... Feel free to correct the result for what you have shown there.... and re-think your insinuation that both the parallel and series circuits there must always produce the same total energy result.

@jason9, i think the only mistake you have done is the assumption two 1F caps in series are still 1F but they are just 0.5F in total. Check my calculation i took your example values.

@hurz ... I see that you have altered your link circuits now. Before this, both of your batteries were 1v each with two 1F caps each circuit (series and parallel). The total series voltage then should have been 1v across the two series caps. Your series calculations however said 2v for that, and so produced a wrong result for the total energy there. Never mind, we all make mistakes as you did there. Now you need to alter the calculations there to suit your newly shown circuit component alterations. The calculations there still show the previous wrong workings for the earlier two series caps of 1F each with a 1v battery at this time of writing.
hurz

the calculation is untouched and still correct, i dont know why you have problems understanding the 2V. But as i already said, its your problem.

@hurz ... the stored energy in the caps is what we are dealing with... not the energy of two similar batteries. The charge of each cap in series is the same for all of the caps there in series, regardless of their capacitance values. The total series charge is also equal to each of the single similar charges too. The voltage across each alters to ensure that. With two similar caps, the voltage between is then simply half of the supply voltage.... look at your series circuit or any. The total sum of series voltages results in the battery voltage. ... hence you should have used 1v in your original link as the series total V, not 2v ... The charge is 0.5 , and the total series capacitance is 0.5 as you described (Q=CV ...Q= 0.5 × 1), so then with the energy being (1/2)QV or (1/2)CV^2 ... the total series energy should have been: 0.25J (the total parallel energy works out at 1J ... which is four times more than the series total energy 'stored in the caps' which is what we are after).... hope that helps.

1+1=2 dont know why you try so hard to get 1V. The voltage is double in the series topology. You seems to be having problems to accept the simplest facts. You have to life with 2V, sorry my little troll.

The energy of a 2 cap parallel topology charged to V : E = (1/2) (2C) V^2 = CV^2. The energy of a 2 cap series topology charged to 2V : E = (1/2)(C/2)4V^2 = CV^2. The total energy is the same for each topology.

Question: What is a Culomb and what is a joule??
2ctiby

@maxmax_66 ... In the hurz link series schematic there was a 1v battery. That schematic depicts just 1v across the two series caps of 1F each .... Where do you get your 2v charge in that series schematic ?
2ctiby
7 years ago
The voltage across each cap is 0.5 volts as can be seen there between the caps, (ie half of the battery voltage), and Q=CV ... so Q=1×0.5 ... ie: the charge on that cap is 0.5 Coulombs ... and likewise for the other cap. The charge is in Coulombs, not volts, and the volts are as seen across the caps there correctly as 0.5v. There is no 2v in that situation.... there is no constant current supply to increase the voltage there beyond the 1v battery supply.

@jason9, yes the voltage can be doubled, so what you gain by voltage, for the energy, you lose with the topology series and less capacity. But the total amount of energy for a parallel or series topology is identical. 1Joule in your example. @sshsslfun, any plan what you make with your 16 caps? I still have some 3000F 2.7V and never finished the project 😉 my investigations stops at some clever balancer concepts. Actually one concept i have tested and its working fine.

@hurz Not sure, thinking about it, I could turn the capacitor bank into an auxilary power unit for starting and warning up my old impala, but I wont be doing any mods to my impala for a year or two so that idea is left in queue. Another idea would be to make a railgun, but for the last two ideas Id need to know more about engineering and electronics before I can make even their driver circuits. Its just going to be in my closet for a year or two.

@jason9 ... you now know that the total capacitance for the series circuit of 1v across two 1F capacitors is 0.5F ... The total series battery V is 1volt ... so by using Q=CV to obtain the total charge, we get Q=0.5 × 1 ... ie: Q=0.5 Coulombs total charge. The total charge in a series circuit is the same as the individual charge on each of the series capacitors (regardless of each capacitance value). So, we can now use that Q to find V stored across each capacitor by re-arranging that formula to read as: V=Q/C ... so V=0.5/1 ie: V=0.5 volts for that capacitor of 1F ... the other capacitor is exactly the same, and so the volts across it is also 0.5v ... The total voltage is the sum of all of these series voltages, and they all add up to 1v here (because there are only two caps at 0.5v each as found). ... The main thing then, is to realise that the voltages sum to form the battery total voltage. ... we could describe that as saying that the cap voltage is doubled in this case, but we have to understand that reason why ... which I have just explained, and we must realise that it is a doubling of the 0.5v ... not a doubling of 1v here. You did not appear to understand that ... and neither did Hurz since he used a total V of 2v which does not apply to this circuit ... and which gave wrong energy results, which he still does not understand.

@2ctiby, your last comment (and probably prior ones too, I didn’t read them all) was too dense for me to understand. Could you please state clearly and concisely what @hurz and I appear not to understand?
jason9

@sshsslfun, a coulomb is the number of electrons equivalent to one amp for one second. A 1F capacitor with 1V across it has a charge of one coulomb. Coulombs of charge can be calculated as C=FV where C is coulombs, F is farads, and V is volts. A joule (pronounced the same as but not to be confused with a jewel) is a measure of energy. A watt is a measure of energy flow. A joule is the energy equivalent to 1W for one second. A 100W bulb uses 100J every second. If a buck/boost converter steps up/down the voltage of a capacitor bank with 1000J in it, then it can’t charge another higher/lower voltage capacitor bank to more joules. Conservation of energy. However, since coulombs is a measure of electrons with nothing mentioned about voltage then ten coulombs of current at 1V is the same as one coulomb of current at 10V is the same as 10J. So, while joules are conserved (or even lost, but that’s just a transformation to heat or motion of a speaker/motor), coulombs are not conserved. Think 10:1 transformer, one amp at the input, ten amps at the output, but one tenth the voltage at the output. Joules are conserved, but not coulombs.

@jason9 ... One step at a time then:  Let's stick to your series suggestion of 1v battery across two 1F caps in series. ... Q=CV where Q is total charge in coulombs, C is total capacitance in Farads, V is the total volts of the circuit. Then Q= 0.5 x 1 ... so the total charge is 0.5 Coulombs. Do you agree with that?
jason9
7 years ago
Yes.
2ctiby
7 years ago
@jason9 ... The total charge in a series circuit is exactly the same value as the charge in each and every series capacitor there ... so that charge value of 0.5 coulombs can now be used for each individual cap ... Q=CV again, but now use 0.5 as Q, and use 1F as C ... so we now have the voltage across one of the 1F caps: V=Q/C ... V=0.5/1 ... so the V across that cap is 0.5volts. Now do that same procedure with the other identical cap, and that too has 0.5v across it. Are you ok with this finding of 0.5v across each of the two caps?
jason9
7 years ago
Yes.
2ctiby
7 years ago
@jason9 ... The total voltage in a series cap circuit is equal to the sum of the individual cap voltages. ... Here we have 0.5v + 0.5v = 1v total voltage. That total voltage, not surprisingly, is the same as the supply battery voltage: 1v ... Here then in this circuit we see that although a cap voltage could be described as 'doubled', we now realise that it was in fact halved fom the battery 1v ... the 'doubling' refers to 2 x 0.5 to give us the total circuit volts ... which is the battery supply value. ... That 1v is the one and only volts value that we should be using for finding our described series circuit total energy (not 2v). We could then compare series and parallel circuits using the correct appropriate values... Do you agree?

2ctiby

@jason9 ... Let's finish the present series assessment first ... that 1v of the battery here is also the total v of the series added caps as you have found ... so that is our required total voltage for the series circuit. There is no other v which we are involved with in this described series circuit. 1v end of story for that. If you are ok with that, we can continue to find the total energy stored in that described series circuit. ... if not, then we need to know why you cannot accept that 1v total ... so how are you fixed about that total series 1v ?
hurz
7 years ago
No, its 2V, or if you are following us on this electronic topic from @sshsslfun its 2 x 2.7V = 5.4V. 1V was choosen by @jason9 for a simple experiment and would cause for a series topology 2V. Fuckin 2V and not 0.5V+0.5V=1V or 2x0.5V=1V its fuckin 2V! Holy shit.
jason9

Yeah. Each cap is rated for 1V. Two in series gives a new cap with half the capacity but a rating of 2V. In series you can charge up to 2V. In parallel you can charge up to 1V. 2F charged to 1V is 1J. 0.5F charged to 2V is 1J.
jason9
7 years ago
Isn’t capacity CV^2/2? (0.5)(2)^2/2=(0.5)(4)/2=2/2=1. (2)(1)^2/2=(2)(1)/2=2/2=1. Series stores as much as parallel as long as each capacitor is charged to the maximum voltage it is rated for.

2ctiby
7 years ago
@jason9 ... The "rating"  refers to how much voltage "could" be dropped across the cap without damage  ... so if we were to apply 1v across it, then we would get a charge Q of 1 Coulomb (Q=CV).  In our described setup of two of those caps in series, the Q is thus halved as being 0.5 Coulombs (which we all agree with)... we are still applying the 1v battery supply across the two in our setup.  We have to work backwards from there, because that agreed 0.5 Coulomb charge Q does not then alter.   So ... with Q=0.5 and a single cap =1F we get Q=CV   ie: 0.5= 1 x V ... so V=0.5 volts for that cap. The main point to note here is that the V alters to suit that equation. Note: Although the cap "rating" may be 1v before damage, it does not mean that the cap will automatically be taking 1v  ... Likewise, the volts across our second cap is also 0.5v ... making a total circuit voltage of 1v, as per battery supply. You have confused the volts damage rating with what is actually happening in our circuit here.

@hurz ... your original presentation showed a battery of 1v for the series circuit, connected across the two 1F series capacitors. That is the description which I have referred to throughout. You have now altered that so that the 1v series battery is no longer there... Your sly action is to avoid being seen as having made a wrong calculation for the series total energy. Put it back to that original and so face up to this discussion, otherwise your alterations there will be viewed as a deception.

@jason9... think hard now about stubbornness, usually it is just a matter of drawn-out debate until things are clarified. You ought to give @thebugger far more respect... he is one of EC's greatest assets.
jason9
7 years ago
In the case of drawn out debate until things are clarified that lasted over a year for @thebugger. He went years thinking that “0.1% distortion going through an amplifier with a gain of a hundred gives a distortion of 10%” before it finally got clarified where he went wrong. I’m not saying he’s dumb or anything, just a bit hard to convince when one of his ideas happens to be incorrect. And to summarize this discussion what @hurz was saying is that two 1F capacitors pre-charged to 1V put in series or parallel when discharged produces the same amount if power, while you were saying that two empty 1F capacitors in series or parallel have different amounts of energy in them if you charge the capacitor bank as a whole to 1V. But that only works because in the case with lower energy it’s because it has the capability to be charged further. This whole discussion seemed to be fueled by a confusion between the two of you and what exactly you were talking about. Both of you seemed to think you were talking about the same thing when you seemed to be talking about things slightly but crucially different and that fueled this whole discussion up until now. Have I summarized correctly?

@2ctiby it’s perfectly fine to charge the series circuit to 1V. It works just fine, but it can be charged to 2V without exceeding recommended voltages for the capacitors, so that’s why we’re doing it at 2V. If you want to find the capacity of a capacitor bank, why measure it at a lower voltage than fully charged? The point here is not whether the circuit said 1V or 2V, it could easily have been an error that never got fixed. It’s about the storage capacity of two capacitors in series vs parallel. If you want to measure them both at the same voltage, then fine. If you want to measure them both at fully charged, then also fine. But know the difference.

@hurz ... You had a 1v battery across your link series schematic, with a 2v in its accompanying series calculation. See my first reply above, just under your link there.

If you now put the 1v series battery back where it was, you will see why I have been persistent ... the series total energy would be 0.25J because a 1v battery would be used in your series calculation, not the inappropriate 2v which you used. The parallel total energy of 1J would then be seen as greater than the series total energy result, having used all similar components ... including a similar battery voltage. ... All you need to do is acknowledge this, and then we can lay it to rest.

No, I didn’t see. But it shouldn’t matter if it’s there or not. The laws of physics doesn’t depend on the presence of a certain voltage in a certain simulation. It doesn’t matter. It could easily have been a mistake. What’s your point about the presence of 1V in this circuit anyway?

@jason9 ... The voltage across series capacitors does matter. ... a 1v battery gives 0.5v across each of the two 1F caps, and that gives an energy for each cap of 0.125J ...making the total circuit energy stored by the two similar caps 0.25J ... A different voltage instead of that 1v will not give that same result and will need to be worked out appropriately. Hurz presented a 1v battery in his above-here link series schematic but used 2v in his calculation there with it. He then altered that schematic battery and denies having had it shown there as 1v. He then continued with abuse throughout this thread. You obviously need to learn about series cap energy before siding with hurz here, and tell us also what you think the total stored energy of the caps in that hurz-link series circuit would be with a 1v battery and then with a 2v battery, and then with a 3v battery... show your calculations.

I presented it with 2V in my calculation. The circuit was made for @sshsslfun, cuz he was looking for a field of application. And @jsaon9 does not need help how to calculate the energy in a cap bank. This is not @jason9 thread, its the thread of @sshsslfun. Read first then ask, Mr @2cent messy. @2cent you just looking here for fights. You are a disgusting person. Unfortunately messup every thread you enter.

You had a 1v battery in your schematic and used 2v in its calculation. I pointed out that inconsistency and received only denial and abuse from you. Your schematic was not there aimed at sshsslfun, it was entirely your own effort to say that parallel was the same as series for total cap energy, based on @jason9 two 1F caps idea. You should have had a 2v series battery to demonstrate that point properly. You hadn't thought through that similar batteries will not do that there... hence your 1v series battery. Then you srarted the abuse and deception.

you got abuse and denial because you continued with 1V instead of use 2V. Dont you get that? You continue for 3 days to explain something with the wrong voltage 1V and cant stop. You gave us all the clown.

There is no more to say to you hurz. I have made it clear that your link series schematic and its calculation were inconsistent as per my descriptions. If I were to continue, it would just be "casting pearls before swine". You, no doubt think that the last word means a 'win' ... so go ahead, but others have seen what is what here.

I came here to tell @sshsslfun about an idea what he can do with all this caps. YOU CAME HERE TO MAKE TROUBLE BUT ENDED AS CLOWN
