Original poster: "Scott Bogard" <teslas-intern@xxxxxxxxxxx> Antonio,I think Chris meant for the salt to be removed, and replaced with some non-conducting oil. But you spurred an idea, I may be mistaken, but I believe water is a conductor, when it is liquid, but to the best of my knowledge, ice is not. Would it be possible to use frozen distilled water as a dielectric? Or does ice actually conduct a little? just curious.

Such a capacitor would be self-healing, always a useful trait.Salt conducts electricity. Worse with water... Antonio C. M. de Queiroz
