I'm not quite sure why, but lately the performance of my coil has
greatly decreased.  I've tried about everything i can think of but
nothing seemed to work.  Actually, I started out getting decent results
and ended with near nothing.  Does it have anything to do with the cold?
Also, after adding some more capacitors, when I turn up my variac
nothing happens until over half the power.  While I'm turning it up I
can hear a little hum/fizz from my caps.  And finally I have a question
about rolled caps.  If you roll up a cap and then put it in PVC and it
expands a bit is that bad?  Say you have two caps, both of the same size
materials.  One is rolled tighter than the other to fit in a smaller
radius, would they essentially be different capacitors?

Thanks
