Boost circuit energy storage capacitor
The key principle that drives the boost converter is the tendency of an to resist changes in current by either increasing or decreasing the energy stored in the inductor's magnetic field. In a boost converter, the output voltage is always higher than the input voltage. A schematic of a boost power stage is shown in Figure 1. In short, a boost converter stores energy in an inductor’s magnetic field, then transfers that energy to a capacitor in such a way that the capacitor’s voltage can increase beyond the voltage of the source that supplied energy to the inductor.

What is the earliest energy storage capacitor
Supercapacitors have advantages in applications where a large amount of power is needed for a relatively short time, where a very high number of charge/discharge cycles or a longer lifetime is required. Typical applications range from milliamp currents or milliwatts of power for up to a few minutes to several amps current or several hundred kilowatts power for much shorter periods. Supercapacitors do not support alternating current (AC) applications. Electric double-layer capacitors (now supercapacitors) were invented in 1957 when H. Becker developed a "Low voltage electrolytic capacitor with porous carbon electrodes". He believed that the energy was stored as a charge in the carbon pores used in his capacitor as in the pores of the etched foils of electrolytic capacitors. [pdf]
Capacitor is an energy storage resistor
In , a capacitor is a device that stores by accumulating on two closely spaced surfaces that are insulated from each other. The capacitor was originally known as the condenser, a term still encountered in a few compound names, such as the . It is a with two . A capacitor is an electrical component that stores energy in an electric field. It is a passive device that consists of two conductors separated by an insulating material known as a dielectric. [pdf]
