Intro: How I Organize My Electrolytic Capacitor Collection

I have 3 categories that I organize them by voltage:

0-10 VOLTS

11-99 VOLTS

100+ VOLTS

If you want to see more of these kinds of projects make sure to check out my instructables page and subscribe :)

STEP 1: 0-10 VOLTS

STEP 2: 11-99 VOLTS

STEP 3: 100+ VOLTS

what devices use caps with higher voltage?

Printers, TV's, Phone Chargers (If they have them they are usually on the input), Computers. Basically most devices that plug in to a wall...

You can search on the internet, but the safest way it to take an insulated screwdriver and short out the negative and the positive wires.

If you find a television or any other electronic device, The capacitors voltage is probably already low if it has been unplugged for a couple minutes, but it isn't worth the risk of getting shocked...

If you're looking for a big capacitor (voltage and capacity) the biggest ones are in CRT Tv's
