Using capacitor to gracefully shutdown PC

323 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?

OP that’s not what capacitors are for. Capacitors store electricity for quick discharge not slow.

This is a batteries job I.E a UPS which most people should have for their PCs anyways
