I agree with Mark and my I add if you use a Kitty Litter" bucket, it has
a tight fitting lid and the sq buckets fit the bottles just fine for a
small coil. Check out the bucket cap with the "Geek" group.

Save some money and build a saltwater cap - compared to an MMC it's
much less expensive, much bulkier, but doesn't perform as well. Use
clean glass (beer) bottles filled with saltwater. A google search
for "saltwater capacitor" should give plenty of designs and such
:) A six-pack in a gallon mop bucket will be suitable for your power
supply.
