Electric OU: Altoid 6b : Capacitor as Sole Power Source, 1 Farad remix

Using a one Farad capacitor charged to 5.5 volts…. Altoid runs for a fairly long time, long enough to call it “steady state” for the first minute anyway. So I have to ask…. how does the circuit know whether it’s running on a battery or a capacitor, if the cap is realistically sized to the circuit’s current draw? I say it doesn’t know. The waveforms and the LEDs seem to agree with me, too. In fact…. the only ones who seem to _disagree_ with me are the NERDs. Yet they have presented no experimental evidence in support of their specific claims in this matter at all. Here is the pertinent quotation from the Ainslie et al. “paper” posted on the Rossi JNP website: “Effectively, therefore, the battery primary supply represents the only component on the circuit that has an intrinsic charge imbalance. Therefore at each zero crossing, which is the point when the current entirely discharges the potential difference across the circuit material, then the voltage across the battery moves to its average voltage which, unlike the circuit components, is always greater than zero. Therefore too, the CEMF will add to or subtract from that battery average depending on the applied voltage and direction of current flow. This, in turn, thereby imposes a greater potential difference at the battery than its rated capacity. A capacitor has no retained potential difference after a discharge of its energy. Therefore, to test whether this retained potential difference is a required condition to
