[QUOTE="JimJ, post: 1041729, member: 555251"] Think of someone pouring in buckets of water in a pool at varying intervals, and a drain plug on the bottom letting the water flow out at a constant rate. That's a really simple example, but it's the basic theory that's involved...there are a huge variety out there, from electrolytic (the kind you see being peddled as "power stiffening caps") to ceramic discs to tantalums to many others.
