...the dielectric constant ( c ) of two types of glass are:
Glass, crown.............6.2 ±1.0
Glass, flint.............8.5 ±1.5
Mica.....................6.2 ±0.7
Insulation, elec.cable...4.1 ±0.1
Diamond.................15.0 ±0.2
Air......................1.000537 @ 20șC

Yeah thats what im worried about, high voltage.
I guess I just need to look into inductive charging (like a toothbrush charges) as opposed to simply trying to build a simple transformer huh? (so as to not use the glass as a means of getting the energy transferred at all).
