Great video - awesome graphics for future reference.
My favorite capacitor application for the masses is the home HVAC compressor startup capacitor. It costs $10 or less, but saves you a $500 HVAC emergency…

The symbol that Jon is using is a power source and the
denotes that it is a DC power source the same as your battery. The point Jon is making is that the inclusion of the LED in your schematic…
That circuit isn't the best way to charge a capacitor to 9V.
