Ha. So the capacitors would need an inverter. Maybe these guys can help out: https://www.phasetechnologies.com/products/phase-perfect
I guess I was thinking about those guys who use supercapacitors in parallel with a smaller car or truck battery. I have a big blue box on the feed to my 5hp compressor that seems to magnetize or something when the compressor starts. Always assumed it was to soften the current draw. Between the plug and the motor. I just wired it up per the diagram and screwed the enclosure to the wall.
