The original idea for this character began in 2003. Soon the book "Powerful" was printed featuring the character. The book was used primarily in educational settings and met with great interest from the childeren. It generated many questions about capacitors and the character.

The interest from the children inspired the author to write a second book in 2004, called "The world of capacitors". In addition, the author created a custome of the character which was featured in two regional parades.

In 2005 the author wrote two short stories, At The Gas Station and An Autumn Day In Vermont, to further promote the character.

The following is an excerpt from An Autumn Day In Vermont:

An Autumn Day in Vermont

On a hill above Montpelier, in Hubbard Park, Capacitor was sitting under a Maple tree. He was surrounded by a group of girls and boys who were listening to his story very carefully. Some of the children had brought their dogs with them. Usually dogs play and bark, but at this time they were resting between the children and listening to Capacitor’s story with them. “As you already know, the capacitor was invented in Holland around 1745 by Pieter van Musschenbroek,” Capacitor said, “This original capacitor was much different from the capacitor of today. Today’s capacitor is much, much smaller and more useful than the old ones. Today the capacitor is everywhere.”
“Where?” asked a small boy.
“Everywhere,” said Capacitor.
“In the satellites that America sends to Mars, the Moon, and other planets. In Airplanes and helicopters.” continued Capacitor. “The Capacitor is under water in submarines, on the water in ships. He can be found all over the world: in cars, trains, computers, robots, gas stations, cameras, and even in your toys.”
During Capacitor’s story, a chilly wind had started. Not long after that, someone in the group said, “Can we move over there and start a fire? There is a designated area.” Capacitor agreed with this idea and asked everyone to collect some branches on the way. When they arrived at the fireplace, one small boy said, “But we do not have a match.”
“Do not worry,” said an older girl. She already had some information from school, about how capacitors work. “We have our Capacitor, who is able to do it without a match, like a wizard.” When the children heard what the girl said, their mouths opened with surprise.
“That’s right, I can start a fire with no match or magic stick,” he said, “I do it with electricity. I am usually charged with electricity from batteries I carry in my pocket. Don’t be scared I am going to start a fire now.” He put his arms on the branches, and when the distance between his arms was just right sparks started to jump between his fingers and a fire started. “Wow!” said the children, and then they gave a long applause to Capacitor. He stood up, bowed and said, “Thank you.”
