As discussed earlier, the capacity rating of capacitors add directly when wired in parallel. This allows several capacitors of lower ratings to be wired together to achieve a much higher net capacitance. Since a higher net capacitance is beneficial towards the ability to buffer sudden voltage changes, 4 2200mFD capacitors were soldered together to form a capacitor bank with a total capacitance of 8800mFD.

The completed parallel capacitor bank results in a net capacitance rating of 8800mFD at 10v. The entire bank is then wired in parallel to the mechbox circuitry.

*The capacitors used in this experiment were of the electrolytic variety, which requires that the polarity is taken into consideration when wiring. The negative terminal of the capacitor is clearly marked and must ALWAYS be wired to the negative terminal of the power source. Conversely, the positive should also ALWAYS be wired to the positive terminal of the power source. Incorrectly wiring the capacitors or exceeding the rated voltage of the capacitors may result in catastrophic failure through a small explosion.
