Ummm, not in this universed: 500nF = .5uF != .056uF / 112

The lease expensive route: get about 40 cases of empty beer or soda (pop) 
bottles and make a huge bottle cap.

The MMC route: get 750 CDE's 942 (50x15)....  (for $3.00 each from 
http://www.thegeekgroup-dot-org/mmc )  We could get a larger size cap for an 
order this large.

Commercial pulse capacitor: call Maxwell, Plastics Capacitors, Aerovox, 
(others?).

What are you doing with a cap that big?  That's way beyond TC size!  Is 
there a missing decimal point or a confusion between nano and pico?
