Hi Everybody,

          I'm on a very low budget for my tesla coil, so I have to rely on
bottle caps. Unfortunately, the bottles don't tell you what capacitance value
you get when you fill them with saltwater and put them in tesla coils. I've
tryed to get some companies to put it on their labels, but they never do :) So
does anybody know of some way to (inexpensively) measure, calculate, or
estimate capacitance values of bottle caps? 

-Chris
