this can not work UNLESS you find a way to exclude the air from the
capacitor plates.
ANYTHING you place in between the plates will increase the electric
field strength.

I found that oil worked, but it won't stay there for long term, and
initially had to be placed in a vacuum to pull out all the oil's
bubbles.

We did get a 200 volt mica cap to go up to the 600 volts expected by the
surface path length. but the oil would atract dust to lower that also.
