This is an intro to capacitor motors, for those of you who were curious about them but didn’t know where to look. This intro will be short and sweet, as it’s intended to be a simple intro to get you interested in capacitor motors and to give you some basic information so that you can either continue on to the next intro or go back to the beginning and start at the beginning. This intro will give you the basics of how capacitor motors work, what their advantages and disadvantages are, and will hopefully get you excited to learn more. Some day I will make a more in-depth guide to the subject, but this intro will have to do for now.
This project started when I realized that capacitors could be used to power electric motors. The first step was to choose a suitable capacitor for the job. I settled on a super capacitor, as they're efficient, powerful, and environmentally friendly. The first step was to build the circuit that would power the capacitor.
