I have watched now the first 30 seconds of the video multiple times and in slow motion, and I can recognize:

47000 µF
25 VDC

Thanks Gauschor

Have watched the same 30 seconds on Youtube on full screen, but blurry as hell to me, must be my eyes LOL !

Also have read the PDF that Stefan put together and in Romero's notes it states

I have used a 4700uf/25v and the voltage increased to 13.8 with the load

But I take it the original was 47000uf then?

All parts ordered this end (apart from capacitor), probably the only difference will be the bridge rectifiers I will use, apart from that should be nearly identical.
Will knock it up next weekend.

Cheers

Sean.

  It's not your eyes. The video is really blurry, and I had a hard time recognizing it either. But there is also another indicator that makes me quite sure it's 47.000 and not 4.700 which is the huge size of the cap. A 4700µF is probably the size of your thumb only. (I got some 1000µF 25V caps at home for comparison).

Fun with ultracapacitors,

I have none,
Time is to buy and try 

No needs to be insulted

@khabe .Congratulations on building your own house . That must have been a very difficult job . And painting all the doors too . The only thing spoiling it is that your neighbours tell me that your house is still connected to the grid . Can you put this right as soon as possible and then show us how you did it , with plans  and circuit diagram . Only Joking ,neptune .

cap is indeed 47000uf, 25 VDC, reference # ALS30A473DF025
