I am trying to answer my own question here, is this the cap ?

Mine does not look exactly like that, it is a little longer.  The number on mine is
BCAP0650 E  It is made by Maxwell and is 650 Farad.  Gadget sells them a lot cheap than the site you posted the link to.  (I bought mine from Gadgetmall)  Mine is sealed up in some Tupperware for outside use.

It is a little hard to see it but here is a video where I ran a one magnet Bedini Motor from my EER and this cap: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rauOlhNK0iY

I call it a supercap in my video but it is in fact a boost cap and they are not the same so, I have been adding to the confusion out there on this.  I didn't learn the difference until after that series of videos were made.

Thank's Bill
You and the team have had a lot of success with the Jule Thief, and I wish you all the best for the future with the ultimate OU Jule Thief.

Powercat:

Thank you very much.  I really believe some great things will come out of the JT boostcap combination.  Regular supercaps are great with the JT circuit also and allow you to do some really great stuff from a single AA battery.

I just got word that my 3.375" OD ferrite toroids are on the way here from All electronics. My project is no where near as ambitious as Gadget's, I am going to replicate Lidmotor's Jeanna Light.  I think that is the coolest thing I have ever seen done with a JT and a CFL.

@all

Wow , the jt is quite popular these day , but there are too many clowns around , lets not turn it into a circus...

Now the jt has nothing to do with the OU claims , its all about the cap ...

They may even even stop making those caps a company can be bought off anytime ...

I feel they made a mistake making those ... Good for us !

Now to conclude , for the same amp values you can do more with low amp high voltage then low voltage high amp.

High voltage doesn't act the same way low voltage dose , for charging a cap i prefer hv ...

Just think will a spark gap work on LowV...

Mark:

I agree with you 100%.  The volts are more fun anyway and can be made to do quite a bit more than most realize.
