Step 5Put it all together
Now it's time to put the pieces together.
I used one of those folding ladders to attach the hose to, and to suspend the cans from.
1. Align the cans so they are directly under the tubes.
2. Connect the wire from each can to the opposite bucket.
You can also use the wires to help secure the position of the cans under the plastic tubes.
NOTE: Make sure the wires don't cross or come very close to each other!
3. Move the buckets close together.
This is where the spark will jump. If you can't get them within about 1/2 inch of each other, you can also just attach a couple more pieces of wire to the handles of the bucket and use those for the spark gap.
