  • We can already store electrons in a container, we call that a capacitor. You separate 2 conductive plates with a dielectric and then connect the plates to a voltage source to deposit electrons on one side and remove electrons from the other (creating a difference in electric potential). You can then disconnect the voltage source and you will have electrons in a bottle. When you connect those plates to another circuit, they will discharge. The more surface area you have, the more electrons you can store. Electrolytic capacitors tightly roll the conductors into a spiral for space efficiency.

    This cannot be used to gain any more energy than you used to put them all in there.










  • VOY 3x8,3x9,3x10,3x11, and 3x12. I haven’t seen Voyager since it originally aired and my partner has never seen it. This is a really interesting point in the series for me.

    The good: the doctor gets the mobile emitter. This is the first really big change in the show structure and more doctor is always better. Plus, Future’s End (3x8 and 3x9) is a really fun 2-parter with great guests.

    The bad: the lack of character or circumstance development really starts to drag by this point. I know there’s the big shakeup at the end of season 3 and I’m extremely ready for it. Warlord (3x10) tries to be a big Kes episode to circle back to her psychic powers but like everything it goes nowhere. Not to mention I know her story goes nowhere so it’s hard to be excited about anything she does.
