it depends on the capacitor.
there are a bunch of diagrams including half wave and fancy full wave peak voltage adapters and some show polarized some show not.
the important thing is spinning over the motor enough to build up the capacitor till its full.
Does it? Does it care which side the +'s are on and which side the -'s are on? What little bit of electrimagic I was taught, beaucoup years ago (OK, I may have forgotten) was that it didn't matter. And tossing someone a charged capacitor was pretty much a hanging offense in Rickover's Navy. (if reported)
