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