One of life’s simple pleasures as a Test Technician at Digital in the late 1970’s was placing a big screwdriver across the poles of a large capacitor. Safety Glasses please.

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..........
