That's one entire FARAD? Geeezzzzzzz. That thing looks pretty small.

I've seen a few 1.0 F caps in these custom car stereo shops, where they add these huge caps so that the bass notes don't dim the headlights (seriously). But those are about the size of a quart of milk. At only 12 Volts DC, of course...

That thing looks MUCH smaller than that. Intersting times..........

I know. That NEC is only about an inch in diameter.

Right. Caps have an equivalent series resistance(ESR), which determines the amount of current it can handle w/o heating up and exploding. The smaller caps always have a higher ESR, than the larger ones.
