Another question.

If seen some significant damage when a cap fails, or when shorted. Especially in old TV’s. What happens when the giant one in your car fails?

They find your head in the back seat, or find a black husk that appears to have been struck by lightning?

I’d have to be convinced of stability, and overcharge barriers in something that can store that much power, that quickly.

Yeah, it doesn’t happen very often, but when a car catches fire, the gas can burn for a while. Imagine all those BTU’s being released at once.

But I would think that dumping that many btu’s of energy into a capacitor in a minute or two would melt even a VERY fat wire bundle.
