<< 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
salt water used for ?

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.
