2. Capacitor discharge ignition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_discharge_ignition

   Capacitor discharge ignition (CDI) or thyristor ignition is a type of automotive electronic ignition system which is widely used in outboard motors, motorcycles, lawn mowers, chainsaws, small engines, gas turbine-powered aircraft, and some cars.

3. Capacitor electric vehicle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_electric_vehicle

   A capacitor electric vehicle is a vehicle that uses supercapacitors (also called ultracapacitors) to store electricity. [1] As of 2010 [needs update], the best ultracapacitors can only store about 5% of the energy that lithium-ion rechargeable batteries can, limiting them to a couple of miles per charge. This makes them ineffective as a general ...

4. Delco ignition system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delco_ignition_system

   An alternative system used in automobiles is capacitor discharge ignition, primarily found now as aftermarket upgrade systems. [3] Electronic ignition was a common term for Kettering inductive ignition with the points (mechanical switch) replaced with an electronic switch such as a transistor.

5. Applications of capacitors - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applications_of_capacitors

   The capacitors act as a local reserve for the DC power source, and bypass AC currents from the power supply. This is used in car audio applications, when a stiffening capacitor compensates for the inductance and resistance of the leads to the lead-acid car battery.

6. Motor capacitor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_capacitor

   A motor capacitor [1] [2] is an electrical capacitor that alters the current to one or more windings of a single-phase alternating-current induction motor to create a rotating magnetic field. [ citation needed ] There are two common types of motor capacitors, start capacitor and run capacitor (including a dual run capacitor ).

7. Static VAR compensator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_VAR_compensator

   However, static VAR compensators are more expensive than mechanically switched capacitors, so many system operators use a combination of the two technologies (sometimes in the same installation), using the static VAR compensator to provide support for fast changes and the mechanically switched capacitors to provide steady-state VARs.
