Hello all,

I was thinking about building a stacked plate capacitor using oil as the
dielectric and completely eliminating the polyethylene.  This should make
the cap more bulletproof as to overvoltage conditions.  Has anyone ever
used galvanized steel cut into squares to construct one of these?  Also, is
it better  to go with larger plates with a wider gap between them or
smaller plates with a closer gap?  Any comments would be greatly
appreciated.

								Thanks, Mike H.
