<< Bottle capacitors can be built from glass bottles with a bolt
 down the middle.....
 Can a plastic bottle be used instead, I have these huge 2 litre 
 soft drinks bottles and was wondering if they are appropriate.
 
 Second question, what does the oil that is placed on top of the

Kenneth,

I believe I have read on this list that the plastic bottles are too thin
and
don't hold up in Tesla coil service.  The thin layer of oil is used as
corona
supression.
