	I have made a SW cap from a 2 liter plastic soda bottle, measuring
about 2.4 nF.  Never used plastic bottles before, and have not electrically
stressed this 'un yet.  Anybody got any experience / wisdom here ?

	To recoup, am using 15kv 30 ma NST for now, looking for more power
and better caps later, because I want to drive a 9 in x 70 in secondary.
Will the plastic bottle stand a NST ?

	Thanks, 
	Will


Life is like a 8hr layover in O'Hare while waiting for a flight to Midway.  
The people you will meet in Midway are the same as the ones in O'Hare, 
so be nice to the people in O'hare.
