1. A method for charging an electrostatic storage device by a charging device, the method utilizing displacement current, the method comprising:
(a) powering a load by an electrical circuit;
(b) allowing, by at least one switch, the connection and disconnection of said electrostatic storage device from said electrical circuit, to allow the charging and isolation of said electrostatic storage device;
(c) causing, by said electrostatic storage device being connected in series with said load, an electrical displacement current through said electrostatic storage device to a power converter and said load;
(d) converting, when said power converter connected by said at least one switch between said electrostatic storage device and said load, the electrical current and voltage potential from said electrostatic storage device, wherein charging said electrostatic storage device causes a varying impedance causing a varying voltage supplied to said power converter, said power converter adjusting its duty cycle in response to the varying impedance from said electrostatic storage device in order to ensure a consistent current and voltage to said load.
