I think the beer bottle caps are a great idea!! gives guy a real excuse to hammer a few....BUT.....why not use something better??? If one looks around there are so many good choices for the 'dielectric jug'.....one simple example comes to mind....Coffee Mate...it now comes in good size 'jugs' of HDPE and should be able to withstand close to 30kV, just looking at it....I know.....It's not the cool new MMC concept, but if a person were to look around...he/she could find all kinds of good possibilities for making home brew caps for next to nothing.

You need to track down capacitors.  The two alternatives that are
reasonable are:

#1- beer bottles with salt water in a white poly bucket (search for
"bucket cap")...  basically free, but bulky and it can spill
