Paper Capacitors



Tesla used salt water caps, and would have used poly foil caps if
poly existed back then.  But he did have paper and oil.   So why
didn't he?

What is wrong with paper/oil caps, and why don't we make them?

Paper has a higher melting point than poly and would therefore be more
robust to failure.

I havn't made a paper cap yet, but before I do I would like to ask.

Thank You
