Capacitors

Capacitors are kind of like a voltage battery. When placed in a circuit where electricity is flowing, it will collect a few Joules of energy and use it to slow down the current causing the voltage to drop. The higher the voltage the more Joules it can store, and thus the more voltage it can block.

If the voltage changes to face the other direction, the capacitor will the the opposite of what it did before: Unleash its stored energy in a large wave! This is extremely useful if you want to convert small doses of high voltage power into one large high-energy wave.

The downside of to discharging the capacitor is that you need to stimulate a negative voltage which may cause issues on your network. Current flowing out of most machines internal grounds will damage them, and all detectors will also be damaged by negative voltages below -50V. Consider using diodes to prevent back-flow out of your machines and sensitive equipment.

The capacitor is not an easy tool to use, but is a very useful one regardless. Master it and you have access to an extremely powerful energy storage device which can discharge and recharge very quickly.
