Hello all, I am working on a project I had had in mind for some time
now, I am looking for input on a certain aspect of it, to be more
specific, what would be the best way to collect electricity from 12 dc
generator [inductive] at varying voltage, condense it, and release it
at a moderated 12vdc at around 300-500 amps? I was thinking maybe a
big'ol capacitor and voltage regulator circuit, though I honestly don't
know alot about the different types of capacitors and their
capabilities. If anyone knows a good way to do this I would appreciate
it, or anywhere I could go to find out would be helpful to.

I think it is revealing that Capacitor Storage is typically rated in
Watt/Seconds and battery Capacity is typically rated in Watt/hours ie a
typical Automotive storage Battery would be rated 100 amps at a 10 hour
discharge rate or about 1.2 Kilowatts hour

A hefty Electronic Photo-flash Unit would be rated at 50~100 Watt-Seconds
