Thanks for the replies! I have been reading on the subject and think what I am trying to set up is a bypass cap system:confused: to dampen ripples for the speed control? Have given up on the idea of storing a ton of energy in big and or super caps. Kinda scary having big caps like that, with my luck I probably get popped somehow.

I have read a ton on cap sizing for this type circuit and am probably more confused now. Guessing I need 60v, would someone suggest a uF size.

I went silly once with all the capacitors I had at hand. Worked ok and less than half would've been better. Things you do when you are bored.....
