Hello folks,

I am getting cheap these days, I am trying to cut corner by tripling
the
capacitance in the capacitor, is this possible? I have heard that it's
possible. Some people have done it successfully. I am just wondering
if
any of you smart dumbass can help.

If you weren't quite the ill-informed idiot that you are, you'd know
that the dielectric in an electrolytic capacitor is formed by the
electrolytic oxidation of the surface of the aluminium foil the forms
the plates of the capacitor.

If you reverse bias the capacitor you can reverse this process, making
the dielectric thinner ( and more likely to break down). Sadly, the

I've never tried this - though I have reformed old electrolytic
capacitors - so I can't guarantee anything.



Exactly as I thought, you're a typical American Hero who likes to help
others the wrong way, like the rest.
