oh, and how the wire is set up in there throughout each bottle still confuses me.. do u cut the stung so it is open in the water and then put another end in there from onother wire and continue it to the next jar, and so on and so on?

[camokid96]

is it possible to use like 6 pickle jars, or spaghetti sauce jars for this instead of snapple jars?

I was just using the picture because I wasn't building a Tesla coil or I would use my own pictures I just wanted to show how they were used I just built the capacitor.

Can you please use your own images, especially not from another Instructables member. Which you blatantly ripped off from DevCoder, It's just wrong. http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-build-a-Tesla-Coil/

do you have to use iodized salt?????????

[duct tape]

no.

[Johnny Topside]

Well it is somewhat the same principle as one but I called it a salt water capacitator because I was focusing more on using it to store energy for a Tesla coil than as a Leyden jar. But thanks!

Wouldn't this be better labeled as a Leyden Jar? Other than that, great job!
