when I made the bottle caps, i took them to the local electronics store
and
i had them measured. mine all were around 800-900 pico farads.
> even close. One said to use .005 MF (5000 pF) and one said to use .03 mfd
i was recommended to use .005 MF and with one combination of my bottles
i came
to .004993 MF. Indeed, i was pretty surprised. i think i was only
using 7 or
8 at the time.
hope this can help
