That's not a large cap ....... this is a large cap:

In case you are wondering, "These low inductance Maxwell pulse caps are each rated at 70 uF @ 12 kV, and 100 kA peak, and they weigh 165 pounds apiece".
Sorry this is off-topic, but I saw "large cap", then had a giggle
cheers, mark

those big ones look like from a laboratory where they do research for pulse techniques for example to blow up concrete by attaching high voltage to big wire that´s inlayed in the concrete.
we got the same caps in university for that purpose.
(funny to see professors turning into children and playing around with lightnings and blowing up things)

Christian said:I juste got hold of a large cap, 34 000 micro/55 V, very cheaply.
But is there anyway I can use use it as a stiffening capacitor since I only got a one?
Yes, you could build an AC coupled amp (at the output) but I would not recommend it.
