I've been a mechanic all my life and would have never thought of something like this, I'm very impressed and for those asking what the point of it is, now that I think about it, there can be a tremendous amount of applications for something like this heck you may even be able to run your homes electrical needs and even get completely off the grid which is what I think I'm going to attempt, this has given me all kinds of ideas, THANKS !!!

Made one of these today with 4x LiFePO4 25650 batteries in parallel and my car starts perfect! Thanks for the inspiration

i think one of the benifits of this would be in an emergency. imagine you hook up a hand powered charger... turn it for about 10 minutes, get enough charge to turn your engine over. with a normal battery, you would be hand charging for 4 hours.

love the natural environment around there.

You don't have 350 farads, you have 58.33333.

How much money would a capacitor-based car battery save you?

You should put a small solar panel on the roof of the car that way when you go out in the morning the capacitors will stay fully charged ALL the time!!!

Those lil' capacitors can do amazing things, especially when you combine them with something else (like your hybrid comment). That was a quick start, good job!

This could be a nice "if all else fails" solution. You know, have a small hand cranked generator in the toolbox and you can have cranking power anywhere. In a minute or two you can have enough juice to have another try at starting the engine.

That little Scion has very little parasitic draw, still amazing the voltage drop was so low with that set of caps.

i bet these eggs are tastier than the eggs from a store

I don't know how well it starts cars, but it sure does attract chickens! You installed the first one.. one chicken appeared. You modified it.. 3 chickens. After installing the big one and letting it sit for the weekend, it slowly attracted a half-dozen of them! Farmers would love this thing! Who knew chickens were attracted to capacitors!
