3. With the capacitor attached to the OUTPUT terminals, continue to keep the wind turbine
blades spinning and the following plot should be displayed. Notice that the voltage has
increased and that it is somewhat smoother. Depending on the value of your capacitor,
your results may vary. The basic result is that the waveform is much smoother with the
capacitor in the circuit.
