:confused: hi everyone.
this is my first post, and i need help. Im 15 and building myself a wimhurst machine but, i dont have enough money to buy the two leyden jars. i would like to know if anyone could help me make 2 good leyden jars that hold seperate charges. i need them to be able to last a while and send a good jolt to you. I've used a wimhurst in science class this year and i thought it was the coolest thing ever and now i'm trying to build one. I would really appreciate help on how to build a couple easilly.

thanks. :D

I'm curious what you plan on using it for.
Just for fun?

Welcome, by the way.

yeah. pretty much. enjoyment of watching the sparks and occasionally zapping myself cause i've done that in class and it was so awsome. I also am doing it to make something that i can be proud of. My science teacher thinks its really cool that im attempting to make one.

help would really be appretiated.
