I must say I am very confused why you would want a burst of electrical energy to flash back to a slow battery. If anything this seems like a bad idea, I understand the cap, but I truly don't understand the ground back to the battery. Maybe I am missing something.
Think of it as shielding against the electrical field emanating from the area around the wire. That's all, nothing more. The questions to ask are:
Is it needed in the first place?
Does it help anything?
Why aren't these installed from the factory on new cars?
