1. Cut the end of the extension cord where you would plug the device into. Strip the three wires and attach them into their appropriate ports. Brown- Live, Blue- Neutral, Yellow/Green- Earth.

2. Then get some lengths of copper wire and insulate it with the insulation tape then attach it to the 2 High Voltage lines.

3. Gets two equal lenths of the steel wire. Bend it at the bottom so the bit of wire bent should be 90 degrees to the vertical bit. Using insulation tape stick the two bits of wire to the base.

4. Attach the 2 high voltage lines to each of the steel wires.

5. The trickiest bit would be adjusting the angle length so the electricity goes all the way to the top.

6. If your electricity rises up the wires and stays at the top then flare out the tips of the wire

7. Once you check all the connections then plug it in. Turn it on.
