    I found pics, but no info. I mentioned them to a friend who works at the firedepartment and develops courses for them (e.g. on conductivity of water, hazards of electrical cars, etc.).
    He needs some Farad's to replace his current capacitors which he shorts by cutting the wire. He wants a bigger bang than the current capacitors can deliver ;)

    Maxwell ultracaps are the best, but not cheap. 3400 F/ 2.85v or more now.... I use some to help wifs s old Pb battery... They use it in hybrid buses in ca i believe
