OLD school "electricity", Leyden jar

[[email protected]]

I recently "discovered" leyden jars (from Adam Savage from the
Mythbusters) and I became very interested, i have built and few and
found some sites:http://home.earthlink.net/~lenyr/, is a good one. I
was wondering if anyone knows of any other type things like this;
building static generators, leyden jars...etc. if anyone has any links
as to building some "stuff" like this or anyting close, preferably from
home materials, it would be GREAT.

Like a Van De Graff Generator? Etc, Eh. Check out Edmund Scientific, I
think they are still around, or Jamesco.

These guys are totally into HV mostly Tesla coils but I'm sure if you
posted your question there they would have a ton of URLs.
