They are used in radio tuning applications, antenna tuning and so on. Air capacitors are interesting for military applications due to their inherent resistance to electromagnetic pulses which can be created intentionally to destroy electronic equipment, but are also a byproduct of a nuclear explosion. Modern day applications include RF matching networks for plasma control

Air Capacitor | Capacitor Types | Capacitor Guide

Air capacitors are capacitors which use air as their dielectric. The simplest air capacitors are made of two conductive plates separated by an air gap. Air capacitors can be made in a variable or fixed capacitance form. Fixed capacitance air capacitors are rarely used since there are many other types with superior characteristics. Variable air

Variable Capacitors: Tuning and Adjusting

A variable capacitor, sometimes referred to as a tuning capacitor, is a kind of capacitor in which the capacitance can be mechanically or electrically altered on a regular basis. Altering the physical parameters that dictate capacitance, such as the conductor plates'' surface area (A), spacing between them (d), and permittivity (ε) of the

Build an Air Variable Capacitor

There are several good tutorials on the Internet for building rotatable air variable capacitors like those found in old AM radios. However, because it''s difficult to cut sheet metal into a curved shape while keeping it perfectly flat, the plates have to be kept far apart, which gives them a very low capacitance. The round shape also tends to be

Basics of air capacitors its working principle advantages and uses

An air capacitor is a capacitor that uses air as a dielectric, and this capacitor can be designed in fixed or variable capacitance form. The fixed capacitance type is not often used because there are different types of fixed capacitors with much better characteristics than it, so the variable capacitance form is more frequently used due to its simple construction.
