Lol... You can learn 2 things here today, my friend.

1. Disillusioned, as defined by Mirriam-Webster (they are the dictionary people) Losing Faith or trust in a product that does not turn out to be as good as it seems or is promised.

That's true, you can use google to look it up if you like. I believe this video specifically uses the capacitor you mention.... check it out.
Now, I know This won't change your mind, and you won't change mine, either, but personal attacks are not necessary. Its just an internet forum, after all. Enjoy the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTuJ7oz9g80

Just a funny little side note; I have a friend who bought a "Vornado" for his truck, and drives with his tailgate off to "save on gas" He will swear up and down that he has increased mileage since hes been doing it.
Although scientifically proven that neither of these remedies work one Iota, (yes, that's a real word, too) he will never admit that he spent $100 on something, and was taken across on it. I would think its safe to say that he will someday admit that he is "disillusioned" as well.

Honky tonk set aside, all valid points, Vornado's and all


The video is a bit flawed. Case and point, the bench test really.

He's using a 15A (Max) IntelliCharger to simulate the alternator charging current to the battery.

...Wait, back up, yes, he's feeding the battery, at most, 15A to provide this test.

Now mind you the first load test is 25A. 15A of charging, 25A load

Bench test over before it started. Also, a tight constant AMP load does not represent a musical note. Unless playing sine waves or single drawn out notes (not typically found in your average song)

You are right, you won't change my mind. Again, going from real world experience here, my own personal use of the equipment.

These caps are more than capable of creating a better regulated voltage environment for your average amplifiers. (SPL competitions need to apply here, cause we know, Burping takes Batteries).
