[TCML] Speaking of bottle caps...

[bsneath@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

	With all the talk about bottle capacitors latley, one thing came to
mind that could mean bottle capacitors mightn't be as bad as their
reputation says. 

	 Is the power dissipation of a glass bottle cap exactly proportional
to the voltage across it?  

	By this i mean that does the power dissipated in the glass drop to
exactly half when the voltage across it is halved? Does it drop to
less than half? Not qiute to half? Could it mean that bottle caps
could be made relatively efficient if enough of them were connected in
series...   BODY { font-family:Arial, Helvetica,

	any thoughts? 

	thanks
