Question: capacitors as special use batteries?
I recall from my hobbyist days that high-voltage capacitors can keep a charge for a significant amount of time, especially if they are cut- off from the circuit subsequent to charging. I'd like to...

1N2071 diode speed
I found four 1N2071 diodes in my junk pile. Apparently the 1N2071 is an obsolete diode - Mouser doesn't carry it anymore. I looked up the datasheet for the 1N2071. It seems designed to operate at 60...
