Step 10What to use it for.
If you want to electrostaticly charge your Leyden Jar, read this site, it will show you how to make a simplest charger you can ever make.
Or even far more dangerous, treat it as a normal high voltage capacitor, you can use it as a capacitor bank for the tesla coil, or something like that.
I tested my leyden jar with high voltage power supply to see if it works. Never ever do that, unless you have good experiences with high voltage.

Never dared to build a Leyden Jar (too much that could possibly go wrong and result in me getting shocked), but your instructable seemed easy to follow - and it actually is! I got my first sparks after ~5 minutes (I hooked a wire connected to the nail up to my TVs screen for about 30 seconds).
Thumbs up!
