EVERYONE LOVES CAPACITORS
01 /10/08
The majority of the content on the Memphis Surplus
website centers around our automotive inventory.
There are several reasons for this. It most centers
on the fact that people are more passionate about
their rides than their capacitors or vibration shock
mounts. That said though we offer a full range of
electrical surplus also.
Thats right everyone loves capacitors. The most lovable celebrity capacitor would have to be the "flux capacitor1." That capacitor ranked number one in a survey of Memphis Surplus employees.

In honor of everyones favorite capacitor we have just listed a some capacitors on our ebay store.
If for some reason you're a regular reader here and aren't familiar with them, here is a brief look into the mysterious world of capacitors:
"First invented by Ewald Georg von Kleist of Pomerania in Germany, the first recorded capacitor was a glass jar coated inside and out with metal. Not to be left out of the discovery is Dutch physicist Pieter van Musschenbroek who independently invented a a very similar capacitor in January 1746, before Kleist's discovery was widely known. Thus we are now given the capacitor as we know it today.
A capacitor is an electrical/electronic device that can store energy in the electric field between a pair of conductors (called "plates"). The process of storing energy in the capacitor is known as "charging", and involves electric charges of equal magnitude, but opposite polarity, building up on each plate.
Capacitors are often used in electrical circuit and electronic circuits as energy-storage devices. They can also be used to differentiate between high-frequency and low-frequency signals. This property makes them useful in electronic filters."2
Well now online at our ebay store we have in stock:
Tantalum Capacitors. 20-100 DC. made by Sprague.
Soon to be posted are our ceramic disk capacitors.
While supplies last, first come, first serve.
Check our our listings here
Also keep an eye open for our other capacitors to be offered soon on ebay...
fn1: This blog should does not intend to communicate actual sale, possession, or existence of the "flux capacitor."
