In this video you will learn how to make a high voltage capacitor in 5 minutes for use in any high voltage project like your very own Tesla coil. This high voltage capacitor was made for dirt cheap and can hold a charge of 15000 volt easily. A couple of these high voltage capacitor in series should be enough to store enough voltage even for a large tesla coil. The capacitor is made up of 2 metallic aluminium sheet and sheets of clear plastic. The plastic sheets act as a dielectric and help the capacitor to hold the charge. in the video I use 2 sheets of cellulose acetate ( the plastic sheets ) between my 2 metal plates, I think this allows a breakdown voltage of around 7kv, so for that reason, I recommend putting about 3 or 4 in between so that the voltage rating is higher. Also, if the 2 plates are aligned correctly you can get higher capacitances.
