A Leyden jar with removeable inner and outer conductors is charged with a Wimshurst machine then discharged with a large spark. The Leyden jar is charged again, then disassembled by removing the inner and outer conductors. These can be touched together, grounded, etc., and no sparks are seen. However, if the Leyden jar is now reassembled and discharged, the spark will be almost as large as the original spark. Note: Please see us beforehand about technique.
