I have been playing with a couple of Lego solar panels and the Capacitors. http://bobfay.users5.50megs.com/Solar.htm
The label on the capacitor claims a value of 1 farad. Is this value possible
in such a small component? I always thought a 1 farad capacitor would need a
huge plate area. I am from the old school of vacuum tubes. I will say the
cap unit does a great job of supplying a nice regulated 2.5 volts. I am
really impressed with this unit.

(...) Yeah it's for real. There's been alot of discussion about the capacitor on here recently, just do a news search. (23 years ago, 1-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)
