"black-brake-energy-storage-box" along side it.
That box appears to be full of THUMB size electrolytic
capacitors adding up to almost 30 FARADS of capacitance.

Really. 30 farads? I'm an electronics greenhorn but that sounds like a lot.
I had no idea there was such a thing in the Prius. I assume that's in the 2004+ models though. Does the nhw11 have that?
