well dan M could dunk that variable air capacitor in a glass of water and see what happens to the values... leseee assuming air = 1 and water = 70..... 750pf * 70 gives us a .5mfd varaible cap :-)just looked at the dielectric constant table... water is closer to 80... but get this... hydrogen peroxide is a whopping 121, anybody know how stable this is, and how it might respond to voltage potentials??? and for those of you whio had to know, cocaine is a mere 3.1, so save it for insulating your transformers.
