Build own capacators

["Tesla list" <tesla@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
    Newbie here--
            I have a source for accurate thickness sheets of mica up 
to 12 inches square.  Didn't Tesla build his own 
capacators?  Something to do with current storage and temperature?

How hard are they to build today?  Would the mica allow for very 
large capactors to be built?
Thank you,
Dave Luke

We still have some DVDs remaining of the Cheesehead Teslathon with
over 40 minutes of DRSSTCs, classic TCs, and lots of other high
voltage goodies.

Steve Ward's big SSTC, Chris (from Phoenix) hauled in a bunch of
smaller coils with amazing performance (12 inch sec with a 40 inch
long spark!!).
