This shows everything you need except for some salt water, attaching one wire to the tin foil on the side and another wire to the nail in the top, and a high voltage power source. I find that warm water helps the salt dissolve better. I use about 3 teaspoons of sea salt (no iodine, just NaCl) in the bottle. This is for entertainment and informational use only, I am not responsible for what you do with this information.
Turns out that Snapple bottles make for a good capacitor - I call it a leyden jar because technically the salt water acts as a conductor just as tin foil inside the glass would in a traditional setup. What a capacitor does - as these jars do here - is hold onto the voltage until it cant hold any more, then it lets go of it all at once. This increases the amperage from my 30ma 15kv power supply to .. well i havent measured it, but something more than 30ma! The high voltage goes into the tin ...
This Leyden jar is made from a plastic container. 1. I wrapped aluminium foil around the outside of the plastic container starting from one-third down the top. 2. A brass pendulum bob is placed over the cap and a chain of paper clips dangle from the bob under the cap. 3. Filling it with saltwater, the container is capped with the paper clips submerged in the saltwater. 4. Make sure that the aluminium foil outside the jar is grounded. This can be done by holding the jar with a hand. What I ...
A beginners entry level tutorial of how to make a Leyden jar out of Metal Foil and a Petri Dish in less then ten seconds. Lesson 101 in capacitor construction for beginners; once you have made a few, the concept seems simple; but everyone starts someplace. In the single plate form it is more of a Franklin Square but functions exactly the same. Charging with a negative ion generator is shown and several small sparks. Oh and me being zapped...like what else is new?
then a system of two spark gaps, one inside the Chamber ( Fixed gap inside soda Bottle) and the other which is adjustable is between the Leyden jar and the detonation chamber. When it works, which so far has been rare, it runs automated and detonates the Gas at fairly frequent periods. When for what every reason the Leyden jar fails to fire, the build up of Gas usually results in various stages of catastrophic chaos when it does detonate. :) ...

from a homemade LC circuit (using a Leyden jar) and an air-core step-up transformer. Technically, it's not a classic Tesla coil, because the transformer is operating far above its resonant frequency.

with a durable laminate base and machined rigid polymer support elements. It has 32cm unbreakable plates and two high-capacity Leyden jars that ensure reliable operation under all but the most humid conditions. At low humidities 10-12cm sparks can be drawn between the adjustable ball-ended electrodes. Charge leakage from the Leyden jars is very low. The jars also can be disconnected to lower the capacitance of the system and permit rapid sequence of sparks to be generated. Includes ...
