Those capacitors are simply HUGE!

Biggest I ever saw were part of a computer power supply. About three
by ten inches. One Farad at low volts.

Not the same animal..... RF Caps like Larry is talking about are
NON-Electrolytic NON-Polarized......

When I was a kid we had an electrolytic, rather three in the same can.
We paralleled them, twisted three wires together solder, repeat.
We would charge it up with a 90 volt battery and kill guppies. The
leads were 3/4 in apart and we would straddle the fish with the leads.
Also blew holes in aluminum foil. I caught a friend of my kid brother
about to put the leads in a wall socket. Should have let him do it.
