I also would like to say that jack is insane.

Also, with a 3.2mH inductor, if those 2 big capacitors are the input filter caps, then you really only need a very small cap bank that goes with the 3.2mH inductor to complete the low pass filter. Like 300uF or something. For a buck converter, the ripple will be just a few volts. You could add a current sensor, and PI loop in software that will make the ripple more like 0.1v, but that's not necessary. This is awesome!
