Say I make a big (~1 cubic foot) capacitor by layering aluminium foil and candle wax inside a plastic container. The thing would store a fair bit of energy (up to around 700J) but the voltage would be really high unless I really decrease the plate spacing, which would make it too time consuming. So my question is how would I charge such a beast up to the full 200kV (for 25mm spacing)?
