I was just curious, how lossy would you guess that these kind of caps would 
be. I don't have a lot of cash, so an MMC is kind of out of the question. I 
currently am using two 50 kV .002 uF plastic capacitor caps in parallel with 
my 15kV 60mA NST. This is about 40% of what is should be for good resonance 
Would a capacitor built out of these things allow my coil to perform better 
than it is now despite their lossy dielectric?
