Thanks, I did find a link to something:

Well, it looks like all that is necessary is some capacitors. I
did suspect this, but I did not think it would work without
a little bit more. One of the things I thought was that you needed
to change the capacitance, and was thinking of some
logic that would add or remove this according to the load. I also
thought you needed some kind of starter.
But, at the moment I am not sure: to just add capacitors seems a
little too simple :)

But on the other hand, what if you have an inductive load ? (
Well , I just wonder )

Thanks,
