Great, thanks!  By the way, what is considered a "short run"? :)

I take it less than say an hour.. :)

Or more likely, just a few mins, right?

Troy,

I love to hear that someone wants to build a capacitor from scratch.  See a
bucket capacitor at http://www.quicktel-dot-com/users/bobspage/electric.htm .
Keep the gap under 0.2", your runs reasonably short, and no air bubbles.
Allow 3/4" margin around all the plates.  They are hot.

You're welcome.
Bob
