It used a transistor, a resistor, and a capacitor in the same configuration that Kearns had designed.(該雨刷的晶體管、電阻器和電容器的配置與卡恩斯的設計完全相同。)

And he found something missing: a fourth basic circuit element besides the standard trio of resistor, capacitor and inductor.(然后他卻發(fā)現(xiàn)了某些東西：一個除了由電阻，電容和電感組成的標準三重奏之外的第四個基本電路元件。)

A sheet containing two layers of nanotubes is a capacitor (each layer ACTS as a plate).(由兩層納米管道的組成的平板就成為了一個電容器(每一層就如同一個極板)。)

“And I saw capacitor, resistor, transistor—it was all there, ” he recalls. “Even the great Mercedes had infringed my patents.”(“我看到了電容器、電阻器和晶體管——它們都在”，他回憶說，“即使是強大的梅賽德斯也侵犯了我的專利權。”)

A capacitor is the electrical equivalent of the bucket.(電容器就是吊桶的電子等價物。)

It could also provide a cellphone battery that would charge in five minutes. That kind of battery is called a capacitor.(這也有可能開發(fā)出5分鐘就能充好電的手機電池，這種電池叫電容器。)

While it is charging, a voltage comparator constantly compares the voltage across the capacitor to a reference voltage.(當充電時，一個電壓比較器就不斷地將通過電容器的電壓和一個參照電壓進行比較。)

That sounds like a bad electrolytic capacitor in the circuit.(這聽起來像一個壞的電解電容在電路中。)

The equivalent of the bucket tipping is provided by a transistor which shorts out the capacitor when triggered.(晶體管提供了類似讓吊桶傾倒的作用——每當被觸發(fā)時它就使電容短路。)
