Posted by Louis I look forward to hearing of your results. I am proceeding with my research utilizing solid dielectrics such as Mylar, due to its high breakdown voltage. If your approach using shielded liquid provides better results, I may experiment along those lines as well! : - ) --Louis

The problem with using liquids is, obviously, the conductivity: you have to use a material of lower dielectric constant to prevent the liquid from conducting. This may be worthwhile, for while the effective dielectric constant will be lower than the value fo the liquid dielectric alone, it will be much higher than the value for the insulating material. I wish I could provide an equation, but I am away from my texts at the moment.

: Does anyone know where I could find information regarding the dielectric
: strength of aqueous solutions? I have been told that in using water as a
: dielectric, you must concerned about two things happening. The first being
: that if too high of a voltage is applied, the molecules of water will start
: to split apart. The second being dielectric breakdown when the electric
: field gets to be too high, and electrons are jump across the dielectric?
: Or at least this is what seems to be correct to me. Is this is true? And
: if anyone happened to know where I could referencable data on the breakdown
: characteristics of water, I would greatly appreciate it.
