hi chris
            i have heard of people building a coil with really small power
supplys such as bug zapper transformers and not actually using a cap at all
but how correct this is i dont know as without the tank cap its not a tesla
coil
but that said it may work off self capacitance
i dont know i could be totally wrong
cheers
