Using capacitor to gracefully shutdown PC

337 views

We all know pulling the plug on a running PC is bad, bc the operating system could be in a critical process and interrupting it would corrupt the system.

But using a capacitor that holds electric charge couldnt we give the PC a couple of „grace seconds“ where the pc finishes its job and then starts the shutdown process?

A 1 Farad supercap can provide 1amp for 1second at 1volt. It will exponentially decay to zero in that time. Don’t believe the above b.s. on keeping any pc alive. It’s suitable only for low powered and short intervals.
