[QUOTE="gstokes, post: 8284512, member: 660947"] the very first time i used a capacitor was for a sound system i had built in my ford escort station wagon, it was primitive but the car had a diesel engine and the engine was running when i hooked up the cap and almost stalled the engine, and i about jumped out my skin with the flash from that spark, you're never ready for an arc like that.. More interesting is the fact i learned later on about using charge resistor to avoid arcing and the capacitor was located in the engine bay providing absolutely zero benefit, we learn from our mistakes [/QUOTE]
