Abstract :
Recent application of capacitors as energy-storage devices for low-impedance loads, such as short-duration light sources and electric detonators, has emphasized the importance of examination of capacitor efficiency from this standpoint. Ballistic measurements, using a vacuum thermocouple and galvanometer, are shown to afford the desired evaluation.
