A fraction of a second after I plugged the coil in, I hear a -crack-...  One of
the bottles had a 2 inch hole in the side of it near the top.  The crack didn't
go below the oil; most of the salt water was still there.  I followed the 
instructions perfectly; perhaps my bottles were too thin?  They were clear
glass beer bottles.
