Paul,

Gosh, it's been a while since that was posted, hope you're still 
interested. Sorry about the delay, I guess I must have somehow missed 
your message when first posted. Anyhow, I was searching for that 
Distilled Water as a Dielectric talk, as there was some interesting 
stuff as I recalled, and I'm getting ready to finally start building 
my new coil. My original drawings for the capacitor we were 
discussing can be found here: < 
<http://www.angelfire.com/nb/rish/images/Coiling/scan0002.jpg>http://www.angelfire.com/nb/rish/images/Coiling/scan0002.jpg> 
and here: < 
http://www.angelfire.com/nb/rish/images/Coiling/scan0003.jpg>. (Sorry 
about the angelfire, what with the ads and slow loading, but as of 
right now it's the only webspace I have.) What is not shown there is 
my idea for a handle integrated with a clamp and metre stick type of 
arrangement for easy adjustment and measurement. Now that I've 
revisited the ideas, and know a bit more than I did last year I'm 
thinking some kind of glass dielectric under oil might work. Same 
idea as in those images, perhaps with a few changes like a greater 
number of plates and larger general size of the container.

Greg,
You said, "How do your designs compare to the ones you saw  above (mine)?"

Where can I see these pics of yours "above (mine)?"
I am really interested in this type of cap construction and would like to
see yours and get any information you have about them. Thanks.
Paul
