wich foil/capacitor to harvest aluminium foil (4 - 6 micron thick) for diy ribbon ?
well it is being asked serveral times when i searched but never a straight anwser.
i tried these
this is metalized film, cant use it for a ribbon 🙁 expensive cap to 🙁
and
2 layers of really thick aluminum with paper in between. this is even thicker then household foil..... wich is also funny that in the huge can , theres actually a small roll 🙂 it looked like something but they could ahve made the housing 2 as small.
and a cheap bipolar version,
again 2 thick layers of someting wich conducts did not even looked like aluminium. verry thick and heavy
someone have sugestions ?
any brand and type , or image on a succesfull harvested type , so this can be the last time this question is asked would be awesome!🙂

Don't know about the caps you mention.
But I run some Maggie III series ribbons as super tweeters and use a high pass filter with WE Paper in Oil caps.
I never experiment with others as I had these around, and I have no desire to experiment with others. I'm very pleased! :O)

oh im sorry maybe i did not make myself clear, i want to cut them open to gain verry thin aluminium foil to make a ribbon 🙂
electrolytic foils are etched full of holes to increase area - likely not good for flex life
audiophile caps may use Cu, Sn foils - both too heavy
though cheap, pure Al isn't easy to electically connect to
read the datasheets closley
