For a 10uF capacitor to pass the charge of a reasonably sized car battery (60Ah) through it, it has to end up with 21.6 billion volts over it. (21600 Coulombs into 0.00001 Farads)

Now most capacitors will break down somewhere () before 22GV, so even if the assumptions were true (they just aren't tho) it would at best be an apparatus for destroying capacitors.
