As long as the cans are electrically conductive (tin, copper, aluminum, etc.) Under the cans I used I placed yogurt container lids, to insulate them from the wood box it sits in.
I used a Philips 4 watt (f4t5). Although any small fluorescent tube should work.
@abhijiththankachan just keep trying. This was my third attempt. Make sure there are no spots where the charge can get out, and also make sure that it's not to humid when you do it. This may sound funny because it's dealing with water anyway, but dry air really helps.
ive found you can brighten that flash by putting a spark gap in series with the bulb. what happens is the gap lets it build up voltage before its passed to the bulb. when the potential difference is strong enough to jump the gap its also strong enough to brighten the bulb.
My dropplets on mine are not spreading either but it still works fine!! Mind you the dropplet size on mine is quite big. Mine has baked bean cans with the top&bottom cut out and buckets to catch the water.

@Titanmk Yeah, I'd still really like the "orbiting" to work though, It's half of what makes this experiment so cool.

oh it is not the quality it is just that in the dark... um... well...

isn't that a good thing? Anyway, if you don't like the quality, you can buy me a new camera.
