I am using a 15v dc 30mA power supply, which i found laying around and soldered/shrink wrapped breadboard jumpers on, for easy experimentation. Is it not possible to power though a capacitor this way?
I've come across those alot.. I guess I'll have to tough it out and start buying diods and such? Lol, can you provide me with links to good components for beginners, with a quantity high enough to blow a few or more of each? XD Thank you!(:
I have run the led's previously, but I want to create a time delay (preferably make two different led's flash at different time intervals).
My supplies to achieve this are as follows:

Additionally, here are my supplies:

I know the schematic is horrid, but please bear with. Additionally i noticed my cap's were to smallin size, so i changed them. The led lit very dimly, then blew.
Here is my circuit:

Electricity flows from the orange (-) to the positive (+)
Sorry for the late reply, I'm new here and had to upload the image to one of my servers (I'm a web developer)
I've been experimenting for hours, and my LED still won't light correctly when this method is used, and the fluke 87 reads voltage on the circuit in a non-logical way. Can you help? Here's what I have set up when using an online calculator:
Time delay: 2000 milliseconds
Power supply: 15v...
