I am trying to construct a few bottle capacitors and have a few questions.
Many instruction for bottle caps say to use a bolt for the top terminal.
Wouldn't a long nail, or thick copper wire work just as good, or better ?
does the shape of the bottle effect the capcitance? I would think It would
slighly... Lastly, does any one know a good list of dielectrics and how
good them are that is on the web?
