RE: [TCML] Capacitor encapsulent

["James" <mustang3@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Ray, The problem with window glass is the iron in it. The dielectric
factor of window glass is POOR. Used as a Tesla coil capacitor, it will
crack and short your cap out. Use some form of plastic. Polystyrene,
polypropylene, Plexiglas, etc will be much better. Now, you might wonder
how I know this. It's a secret. James

I'm building my capacitor using window glass and brass sheets. I plan on
using paraffin instead of transformer oil. I would draw a vacuum on the
container while the paraffin is liquid to get the bubbles out and then
let
it solidify. Will this work, or what problems will I have.
