[physics/0211001] Force on an Asymmetric Capacitor

When a high voltage (~30 kV) is applied to a capacitor whose electrodes have different physical dimensions, the capacitor experiences a net force toward the smaller electrode (Biefeld-Brown effect). We have verified this effect by building four capacitors of different shapes. The effect may have applications to vehicle propulsion and dielectric pumps. We review the

Hybrid capacitors. Hybrid capacitors are asymmetric, which means that the capacitor is a combination of a porous carbon electrode and one other material, generally, metal oxides, conducting polymers, or metal-doped carbons.
