Step 3Making the Discharge Plate
The discharge plate is the piece of metal that is under the insulator, it causes the metal object to try to discharge, but since the plastic is in the way it makes the electricity spark out trying to reach the bare metal.
In this step you will need:
Scissors
Sheet Metal
Ducttape
Speaker Wire (2"
With the ducttape, kneel on the floor with the metal plate vertical between your knees and fold the ducctape over the hotdog way' so that half of the ducttape is on the front and half of it is on the back. I went over each edge twice for added thickness but you don't have to. Repeat this steps on all of the sides except for 1. The side you don't tape should be one of the shorter sides.
Now set the plate down on a table with the tape-free side facing you. On the lower right corner slice off the last inch of tape (shown in picture three) remove the tape on that last inch on the top and the bottom.
To connect the speaker wire, strip both wires, about an inch long and tape one of them to the top of the plate and the other to the bottom (see Picture four and five) after you have connected the wires, finish putting the ducttape on the last edge.
The other end of the speaker wire you will need to strip and wind the two separate half of the wire together, this end will go to the NEGATIVE terminal of your transformer.
If you dont know which end is the negative, find a grounded object and touch each end of the transformer to the grounded object, one of them will spark, the other one will do nothing, connect the plate's wire to the one that does nothing.
