CAPACITOR: 1 Farad

•  1 Farad 5.5-volts electrolytic Capacitor – hard to find.

(Wikipedia excerpt: .."...In electrical engineering, a capacitor [C] is a device that stores electrical energy by accumulating electric charges on two closely spaced surfaces that are insulated from each other. The [C] was originally known as the condenser,[1] a term still encountered in a few compound names, such as the condenser microphone. It is a passive electronic component with two terminals.

The utility of a [C] depends on its capacitance. While some capacitance exists between any two electrical conductors in proximity in a circuit, a [C] is a component designed specifically to add capacitance to some part of the circuit.

The physical form and construction of practical [C] vary widely and many types of [C] are in common use. Most [C] contain at least two electrical conductors, often in the form of metallic plates or surfaces separated by a dielectric medium. A conductor may be a foil, thin film, sintered bead of metal, or an electrolyte....")
