    lefty,

    We are not talking about kitchen table capacitators. The base unit to measure capacitance is the farad. A 1-farad capacitor can hold 1 amp-second of electrons at 1 volt (see electronics.howstuffwo...) and guess what? In terms of capacitors that is HUGE, typical capacitance is measured in terms of micro farads and it is not uncommon to see PICO farads.

    Not only do the things have to hold a lot of charge they have to do so safely.
