It is quite possible to transfer energy and charge (or rather gorge)
from one capacitor to another with high efficiency. The
energy-transfer efficiency can approach 100%, and the gorge-transfer
efficiency can easily exceed 100%. These numbers far surpass the
limits that are often assumed, “proved”, and/or “explained” in the
physics education literature. We discuss a simplified version of a
technique that is very widely used in the electronics industry.
