J-Doe Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Can someone post the length x width of a bumblebee cap? I am trying to reproduce it for my guitar... Quote

Keegan Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 If you're trying to make a cap yourself, isn't getting the capacitance right more important than having the same dimensions as a bumblebee? Quote
foil1more Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 Do you know how capacitors are made? Quote
J-Doe Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Posted March 22, 2009 If you're trying to make a cap yourself, isn't getting the capacitance right more important than having the same dimensions as a bumblebee? that is true and the reason why i asked is because originally i was going to make casing for another capacitor that looks like a bumblebee cap... but after some research i think i would like to make one.. to foil1more: if you roll 2 pieces of paper and 2 pieces of foil that are both 22 inches long and layer it paper/foil/paper/foil and roll it tight as you can. you can get a capacitance of .05uf. it also depends on how thick the paper and foil are...

Keegan Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 Hmm, I got 220 inches for .05uF. You might be better off just imitating one. They're about 1 inch long and 3/8" wide. A Mallory 150 would probably work, since it's axial like a bumblebee, or you could use a vitamin Q if you want the same sound and just paint it like a bumblebee.
