I posted a great video on LEDs a little while back that was posted by Make Mag and starring the brain of Collin Cunningham – Make’s released another video, this time on what capacitors do, and from whence they came. It’s an interesting video – if you did not know what a capacitor did, you should watch this video! The video also shows you how to make your own Leyden jar, and how to use a capacitor to power an LED.
Thanks, Make!
