Thanks for watching. While the engine is running the 12v DC comes from the bridge rectifier and lithium-ion battery combined which powers the chute. While the engine is running the 12 volt DC continually charges the lithium-ion battery. The hand warmers and headlight are hooked up to the AC before the rectifier so there there is no battery drain from them when the engine is on or off. The Lithium Ion battery was built from 3 lithium-ion cells harvested from an old laptop battery, and an inexpensive 12v lithium-ion regulator board. I was going to mount the motor under the console, but putting it where it is was much easier and sturdy, under the console is a lot harder to bracket and too much interference to deal with. A Cable is much easier to run and the end result is the same, if not better.

You don't need a capacitor when you have a battery attached, A battery is a capacitor.

A power window motor should work as well:
