For the record, don't install capacitors in an AEG, unless you are very experienced with things electrical. And experience is not what you learned in a class somewhere either. There are about 4 or 5 people I've run across on ASC that would be capable of safely installing them, and most importantly knowing when and why not to install them.

A capacitor is an energy storage device by design. In DC systems, they have very little use, as most loads are resistive. Reactive loads, like switching power supplies with varying loads or motors are the only place they are needed, if ever. An AEG motor may have some reactive current, lagging the voltage by a certain amount, but most of it's current is going to be resistive, based solely on load. If the motor was an AC motor, this might be a different story.

Capacitors as said before are storage devices. In case of a fault or a short across capacitor leads, they will discharge their current at as close to the speed of light as physically possible. This causes them to explode, and the larger the capacitor, the bigger the bang. Three 1F caps can destroy a car, I've seen it. I wouldn't want a couple of 100 microfarad capacitors to blow up in the stock of a gun against my cheek.

In short, unless you are technically well versed and physically skilled, don't do it.
