Hello,

I found this very nice website with a section about Homebrew Butterfly
Capacitor with many photographs.

http://hps.infolink.com.br/py1ahd/gallery21.htm

Does anybody knows where in UK (preferrable in Dorset or London) can I
get aluminum foil, 0.5 centimeters thickness?

Small Parts, Inc in Florida carries Aluminum sheet, as well as K&S
Engineering/Metals.

Most well stock hobby stores (R/C models, model RR, etc.) will have that in
stock!!

Sorry, I will leave you do convert to metric

Rough and ready. One inch is 'about' 25mm?
So 0.5 mm = 1/50th of inch?
Which = 0.02 inches?
That correct?
So 0.016" would be close????????????

Here in the USA, 0.020" aluminum is a standard thickness.

Uuuh, I thought the OP said .5 CM, not MM... Slight difference by X10

Uuuh, if you had been reading _all_ the thread.

He did say .5 cm. So did the web page he was citing. It's pretty
clear from looking at the picture of the capacitor that .5 cm is out
of the question, and must be a typo on the original web page, while
0.5 mm is quite reasonable for a capacitor of that construction and
size.

The post has been out there a while and we all assume it's a typo (I've
never seen the original poster reply about that) but 1/2 a centimeter
would make HUGE plates...1/2 a mm sounds MUCH more realistic...
