The plasma globe has AC output, so it won't charge the capacitor up to a DC voltage [edit] I like the video though! Makes me want to make a huge high voltage capacitor of my own!Just need to find a way to charge it...
I didn't have a pvc tube, but I do have a makeshift plasma cutter that I made from a plasma lighter. It's really weak but I thought it would be enough to charge the Leyden jar. Then I saw the second half of the video and my hopes and dreams were shattered :P
When I was in highschool my science/physics teacher had a hand crank Van Dr Graaff generator. So I went online and stumbled upon the Leyden jar being used to store power from the Van Dr Graff. So I made a dry version from a 5 gallon bucket, aluminum foil on the inside and outside walls and a small chain attached to the lid that ran to the foil coated bottom. I brought it into class to find out that even after charging it, I thought I discharged it, and like 5 hours later after school was released, I went to the classroom to bring the Leyden bucket home. I accidentally touched both ends of the buckets contacts and found out that it was capable of holding a charge powerful enough to make me see a flash of white over 5 hours after initially being charged.
Apparently classic Tupperware tubs work really well for Leyden jars. PET plastic in drink bottles is slightly porous, so unless it has been kept dry for days, it conducts a very small charge through the walls. The soft plastic in classic Tupperware has similar characteristics to the insulation on electrical wires and is not porous. Also, most of the foil with insulation tape reduces charge loss, and any area you intend on touching needs to be in the middle, not on an edge, as sharp edges release static charge. (That's why lightning rods are pointy.) Another tip, use a piece of copper wire instead of a galvanised iron nail. Copper conducts electricity better, and loop to top end over so there are no sharp ends. Swap the paper for a piece of nylon, polyester, or silk, and if you don't squeal from the shock after following those tips, there's something wrong with you.
Great video! Im completely stunned by the quality. Completely shocking to see what you what make with such simple materials. Through the whole video my eyelids were completely static. I was like "Watt? This is amazing". It must take a real bright spark to come up with these ideas.

I tried this with my friends up to 8 persons when the first person touched that nail everyone goes crazy...we played with the jar for a hour.well I thank you and appreciate for explaining the working of a capacitor thank you
Its the same just a lot more advanced, Stroke it get a bio data stream, Before you know it know it another Machine build for working.. Lots more fun too
A friend of mine tried grinding gunpowder with a mortar and pestle in his sophomore science class. It removed several windows and two and a half fingers.
I built Leyden Jars from empty fish food containers when I was 10, though I preferred a dry jar with foil on both the inside and outside of the jar to these wet ones, simply because they were so much lighter so it made it easier to transport my collection of 20+ jars. I have a few tips here: 1. always ground the outer foil when charging it, it makes it easier to build up a charge 2. when discharging larger Leyden Jars ALWAYS USE A TOOL, myself I used a bent paper clip to complete the circuit 3. Rather than using a frictional device like PVC pipe to charge the Leyden Jar, might I suggest building an electrophorus, for an easy start, or going with something like a Wimshurst machine if you want to go full tilt (as I did), if you want to go down the path of awesome whimsy you could build a version of Lord Kelvin's Thunderstorm, that might be right up your alley.
Love the video! I've been watching the King of Random for a VERY long time. But if I'm not mistaken, the plasma globe gives off an alternating current, so the capacitor would be continually charging and discharging, preventing it from actually building up any charge. You should hook it up to a car battery or Van de Graaff machine instead (since they give off a direct current), and then discharge it with something like a paper clip (or a lightbulb!)
You can charge this with a mosquito killing racket. Just disassemble it and plug one wire into the aluminium foil and the other into the nail. You will get a huge electrical shock them :D
I’d love to see some videos on ‘testing’ your Leyden Jar. What can you charge it with? Can you regulate the discharge? Can you measure the voltage you’ve charged it to? What about using your high voltage neon sign transformer to charge?
I already graduated HS but my brother is still there and i take him to school. I would probably see this happen with group of people either outside the school or in a cafeteria lol
at our library we have this bench its so cool. two people sit on it and touch the metal part on the armrest and the touch hands and it plays music. if you move your hand along the armrest it plays different music.
Cool video, just know that with some slight modification, Leyden jars can be extremely dangerous or deadly if you use a different dielectric and add more surface area.
It would work. Hold the foil, hold the screw of the light bulb, touch the tip to the nail. It might not last long enough to be able to see the light, though.
One time my siblings, my friend, and I were on the trampoline at night. Then, my friend and my sister accidentally shocked each other with static electricity. We were so surprised that we could *see* the light that we spent the rest of the night rubbing our hair on the net and then going up to someone on the net and looking at the light (and making our hair very matted) It's cool to see and something to do if you're bored.
The problem with the plasma ball is that the output is AC. Try the rectified HV output of a flyback transformer from an old CRT monitor. From personal experience, it will give you much more of a charge then you will ever expect!
Don't screw around with the flyback transformer of a CRT TV. There's even a warning on that rubber cap that covers the connector to the tube. Touch that output wire and you're dead.
Do another video with more people and do some fun experiments. First, touch the foil, then hold person 2's hand, get person 2 to hold the hand of person 3 and then shake person 3's hand. Then try to charge it using a DC volt (thanks to ElectroBOOM's comment about the DC current), you can find DC adapters everywhere. Then try to light up an LED, and then burn out an LED (you're going to need to touch the foil, aka ground, touch the long leg of the LED with the same hand, then touch the short leg of the LED to the nail). Maybe make multiple jars, charger them all up, and then have some fun with them? Include the multiple people in this activity?
Amazing video, definitely going to try this. Do you think it’s possible to build up enough of a charge inside the bottle to cause the water ions to split like an electrosis chamber
The spark between that metals was blue mostly because of the emission spectrum of gases in the air and that is mostly blue color. But when you were touching it with your finger the color changed due the ions from your "burning" skin. :D And the plasma bulb didn't charge the jar because it outputs high frequency AC voltage so it was something like charging and discharging pretty fast. Maybe it could work through a rectifier.
Did dat as kid with slide by going down and getting static. I think static electricity is different from the plasma globe so can be held be the capacitor
At my school camp the entire boys group so about 15 boys held hands then the person at the start grabbed the electric fence and we all felt an electric shock
Great video! Small suggestion next time you do something where there may be intricate sounds could you cut the background audio/songs so we are able to hear them?
I would always go with a group of friends to are playground at are school on person would hold a metal pole one person would stand next to the slide everybody held pinkies and the last person would rub their hand against the slide, and shock everyone by touching the person next to the slide.
heyhey, I think the colour of the spark is from the material you take out the spark.... like in an Optical Emission Spectrometer. The plasmagas vapors atoms from the foil or your finger ( natrium from the salt in your sweat should be orange) and that changes the emissionlines of the light spectrum, try to use some copper and it should turn greenish. greetings from Austria
use bigger diameter bottle run nail all the way through the bottle wrap multiple layers of aluminium foil simultaneously with attached paper so that it won't conduct between layers
Use a small electric motor (drill) to spin a piece of PVC inside of paper towels. You can use an end cap with a hole drilled for a rubber or vinyl nut/bolt hardware so the pvc wont discharge onto it. This will accelerate charging many times. If you have a long piece of metal, such as an aluminum foil strip lining one side of the PVC interior wall overlapping onto the exterior wall by a few inches, that should collect the charge. Then simply touch the nail with the charged aluminum and the charge may transfer. Or run a thin wire connected to the aluminum strip that will constantly transfer the charge into the bottle as its generated. Havent tried it but it may work. Cheap and quick build.
The other method is having some aluminum foil in the bottle, so wider neck bottle is better for that, then use long nail or small chain to contact the foil. Works just as well and you eliminate the corrosion issue of salt water on the metal rod.
You've created what is essentially a capacitor. A device designed to store a charge and then to rapidly release it. Camera flashes use capacitors to provide the burst of electricity needed to create a momentary burst of light. The amount of electricity a capacitor can store is measured by what's called capacitance. You can use a digital multi-meter to identify the capacitance of your Leyden Jar. Another fun experiment you can try: Take two sheets of aluminum foil and two sheets of wax paper. The width of the aluminum foil must be less than the width of the wax paper. Attach a wire to each sheet of aluminum foil. You can solder it if you like. Layer the sheets as such: foil, paper, foil, paper. Then, starting at the end with the wires, start wrapping your sandwiched sheets around a piece of pvc pipe. The aluminum foil is on the inside against the pvc pipe while the wax paper is on the outside of the wrap. Make sure that you do not have any point of contact between the two sheets of aluminum foil. The wax paper is your insulator. Use tape to hold the end of the sheet in place after you've finished wrapping your pvc pipe. You're finished. You've created another capacitor. The tighter you wrap it, the higher the capacitance you can store with your homemade capacitor.
LightningShock no. Not only can it react with oxygen in the air, it also reacts with oxygen in the water. I made one of these a year ago and the nail did rust.
@spencer wells: Leyden jars made of glass are still in use today on high power plants as they are known to resist high voltages in the kilovolt range with ease. Arcs can't penetrate glass.

Can't charge the jar/capacitor with alternating current (AC)... will charge/discharge with every cycle of the AC frequency.
You can use a balloon
Grant can you plz do a vid
You can use a Van De Graaff or a wimshurst machine to charge the jar.
just put a diode inbetween maybe it will work

Use a small electric motor (drill) to spin a piece of PVC inside of paper towels. You can use an end cap with a hole drilled for a rubber or vinyl nut/bolt hardware so the pvc wont discharge onto it. This will accelerate charging many times. If you have a long piece of metal, such as an aluminum foil strip lining one side of the PVC interior wall overlapping onto the exterior wall by a few inches, that should collect the charge. Then simply touch the nail with the charged aluminum and the charge may transfer. Or run a thin wire connected to the aluminum strip that will constantly transfer the charge into the bottle as its generated.
Havent tried it but it may work. Cheap and quick build.
put an aerosol bottle in a crucible or vacuum chamber
Can you mix liquid oxygen and liquid propane/butane and it ignite it? That would be so cool
Congrats on being #8 on trending!!! 😀
yeah. you go and down that bottle.
He Said That His Finger Started To Heat Up It Might Be Possible That The Current From The Black Plasma Ball Might Boil The Water In The Bottle?
Did you have to capitalize every first letter
The other method is having some aluminum foil in the bottle, so wider neck bottle is better for that, then use long nail or small chain to contact the foil. Works just as well and you eliminate the corrosion issue of salt water on the metal rod.
