Hi Dave:

That reminds me of my grade seven science fair project. That was a rather
odd Wimshurst machine for making electric sparks jump between two points. It
involved (among other things) a handcranked vinyl 33 LP record some copper
piping and a Leyden jar (capacitor) made of a glass peanut butter container
with aluminum wrap on the inside and out. It sparked pretty well too. 

Cheers,

Mark

He'd probably make a flux capacitor out of a hoe and a vacuum cleaner bag.
