Subject: Ripple current and Goop problem
> With a title like that I am sure the curious would read this :)
>
> I have 2 questions; any help would be appreciated.
>
> 1. what is the term 'ripple current' meaning in relation to capacitors? I
> have a catalog here and one of the specs for these caps is there 'ripple
> current'. Any ideas?
>
> 2. I recently bought from a pawn shop a little LCD casio 'Marine Hunter'
> game for AUS$3, for the reason that it had a reallly nice solar 'battery'
> (more than one cell!) - it looks like the suncerams that I have never been
> able to find locally. Anyway, the LCD game is pretty bad, so I have no
> qualms about stealing it's power source. The problem is, it has been fixed
> inside with some kind of herculean double sided tape. What should I do to
> get it off? I don't want to pull off any coatings/layers (the tape is on
the
> back of the panel) nor do I want to kill it with the wrong kind of
solvent.
> Any suggestions on a solvent that is 'cell friendly?' - I really like this

> PS: The game was made in 1983, and still going. Hmm... 16 years and still
> needs no battery :)... Maybe my next bot can be that good :)
