🧀 The Dielectric Constant of CHEESE!

This video shows how to measure the capacitance and dielectric constant of 🧀 (cheese) using an LCR meter and two pieces of metal. We used thin sliced organic cheddar. This is the dielectric calculator we used: www.endmemo.com...

Hey Zeke! Found you channel thru "mad" Max Maxfield article he wrote about you. He used to work in the same building as me. Watched some of your videos. Wow! you really are a scientist! I like the way you experiment trying different test, guest the solution then see the results. For the next experiment try injecting a frequency into the cheese from 1Mhz, 10Mhz, to 1Ghz. How does it affect the dielectric constant? Is it affected by temperature? Try it with hard cheese and soft cheese. Make a video about it. Bet it will go viral. One of my projects is something very similar. I injected a variable frequency spectrum into my hydroponic tank. I noticed when the solution is low on nutrients the resonant frequency goes up. its just a crude way of finding out when to add nutrients. Keep on experimenting!! Daryl

@PickledHamProduction, Thank you for the suggestion! We bought some more cheese, and we will post a video when we do the experiment. (Cheese is yummy!)

I try really hard not to eat the experiment!

Nice one Zeke- You might also work out the Q of cheese while you are tabulating the various results of your next cheesy experiment. I suspect the Q will be fairly low due to the moisture content of the dielectric, so it should improve with drier/harder cheeses. I watched your presentation at the Tualatin radio club. I am one of the teachers of the ARGO.radio license classes and teach on Sundays (when I am teaching) and often am one of the Volunteer Examiners as well. Nice job with your presentation! 73 Doug AG7OG
