Don't add such a capacitor to the line or you will or can create a disaster.
I tried and every time i connected it the fuses blowed up. is very strange indeed. If you have a water capacitor of particular shape (steel tube inside an acrylic tube. (the one you ca see in my youtube channel on the prototype video) And connect to the line thru a dc full wave bridge rectifier to it with only one of the wires and than disconnect the first and connect the other wire, you will create a very high pulse that will burn the fuses without even closing the circuit just touching one wire and than disconnecting and than touching the other at least in my house in milan this happened aways every time, i repeated many times. The explanation i found is that the electric field on the line charged the water by induction like, and than the other wire saw it as a short circuit.
SOmething i found thinking about today is that if you have a capacitor charged and than take out the dielectric from inside of it or lower the dielectric value magically, you will raise the energy stored in the capacitor.
Like if you raise the separation of the plates while already charged.
We could think of a capacitor that changes its capacitANCE by action of the gravity field. Like having two charged spheres one on the top of the water. You charge the spheres and than make the under sphere to drop. Doing this the charge will remain the same but the voltage will raise up so as its energy all this by action of the gravity. When the sphere arrives in the "ground" having a spring some of the kinetic energy could be used to push the sphere up again with some more energy coming from the gain...
Don't know maybe is possible.
