My intuitive understanding of the capacitor's function in the Hodowanec style
detector is that an external CURRENT passed through the dielectric will
fluctuate since the gravitational waves modulate the volume of space itself,
making the plates move closer together & farther apart.
(This is reflected in the configuration of the op-amps as "current to voltage"
convertors.)
The capactitor in a Hodowanec detector may be key because the pheonomenon is so
small that either a large plate size is required for a noticeable effect, and/or
perhaps the passage of electrons between the plates may be "relatively"
unaffected by any space distortion.
