I've been looking at them for a bit wondering the same question. I believe:
When the switch is closed, the inductor will have a high resistance, limiting power directly from the main power source. During this time, the capacitor will be delivering voltage to the output.
When the switch is open, the inductor will power the output while recharging the capacitor.
From what i get it's not *necessary*, but does even out the voltage considerably.
Maybe someone has a better answer...
You can not by-pass the capacitor in an electric motor. Most are capacitor-start motors which require the capacitor to be operational in order to start. If the capacitor is not working then it will need to be replaced.

Yes. Setup the 555 as an oscillator and plug the capacitor under test into it and measure the frequency of the signal generated. For more precision, measure the charge time only, and use a constant current source, but that is getting more complicated than need be - there are far better ways to test a capacitor than with a 555.
Depends on the output of the generator
There is no need. The three-phase supply provides a rotating field in the motor, rotating in the right direction, so there is no need for a starting capacitor.
You will need to calculate a capacitor at the output stage in order to prevent interaction with the networks connected after the output.
it doesn't hurt...but you'll also need a yellow top for deep cycle and a high output alternator to handle the load...
No. VGA port is not either serial or parallel port. It is a different interface. If you need a serial output, you need a VGA to serial converter.
In general, no. You need to use the correct capacitor as designed for the circuit.

You need to make sure that .mp4 is the selected 'Output Source Format'. If it is not converting it, there is a possibility it already is an .mp4.
You need a video converter to do that.Google: Free video converters and download one.Make sure your Output Source format is .avi.
You don't really need cables. You should first get a converter or update your graphics card so that it has a DVI output, then use a DVI to HDMI cable.
It can. Most graphics cards do not have a TV output, so you will need to buy a converter of some type.
You need a video converter for .flv to .mp4.Download the Enolsoft video converter or Koyote Soft Free Video Converter 2.3.http://download.cnet.com/Enolsoft-Video-Converter/3000-2194_4-75755915.htmlLocate and add the .flv file you wish to convert to .mp4. Follow the conversion instructions ensuring your Output Format is .mp4.
converters are usually listed in Watts output- sometimes with a surge wattage about 2 times the normal running wattage- motors usually have a surge need to start and then even out- so assuming this motor runs at 14amp= Watts = volts X amps, you should need 1540 watt converter- 2000 watt converter to be safe
If your TV has RCA audio out you do not need the converter.
