sooooo when you say high voltage do you mean like a painful zap if you touch it? or "you just fried every internal organ in your body" high voltage?

[TehGamezWithJagris]

@zNEKOMARUz You can't feel a shock from a Tesla Coil. Volts don't kill, amps do. But it does internal damage.

Neither, since i started 'zapping' myself i havent gottin sick. its been two years now and no cold/flu nothin...

hey ,whats the power of the suppy your using? i made a coil using jars and got about the same result using a 5kv nst .would be interesting to c if its the caps or my small nst holding this thing back from making those big sparks ,we really want to c .thanks

NICE !!!

Put a layer of oil on the top of the Electrolite

And you don't want pressure in it ! as These types

of Capacitors / Leyden Jar's  are known for Exploding !! a small vent will keep it safe .

@r66dTesla thanks for the tip, that worked pretty good.

Try to pressurize the jar

Wow...A lot better than what I've done. good job :)

[MyLifeInPixels]

great design and i like the way you used leyden jars :)

maybe put build instructions up too cos my tesla doesnt look half as cool as yours.

:) Cool set up, I like the old fashion Tesla coils with Leyden jars. Nice job.
