*pinned* it 😂
Midori Reeku Oh no the puns
Shocking!
The plasma globe has AC output, so it won't charge the capacitor up to a DC voltage [edit] I like the video though! Makes me want to make a huge high voltage capacitor of my own!Just need to find a way to charge it...
ElectroBOOM Hey there, will there be a movember video this year? ^^
ElectroBOOM He needs a FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIERRR to convert ac into dc
ElectroBOOM hi :D
Oh hey hows it going ElectroBOOM?
Didn't expect you to be here, cool to see you!
I didn't have a pvc tube, but I do have a makeshift plasma cutter that I made from a plasma lighter. It's really weak but I thought it would be enough to charge the Leyden jar. Then I saw the second half of the video and my hopes and dreams were shattered :P
Can't charge the jar/capacitor with alternating current (AC)... will charge/discharge with every cycle of the AC frequency.
You can use a balloon
Grant can you plz do a vid
You can use a Van De Graaff or a wimshurst machine to charge the jar.
just put a diode inbetween maybe it will work
"first, empty your bottle" *chugs the drink in 10 seconds*
best part
Watch ElectroBoom's video about this video. Explains a lot more. I would like to see King or Random's response to it too!
great! I will check it out. Thanks.
Where is his reply?
3DSage yeah I love ElectroBoom
I’m sorry but he’s not alive any more
Traffic Kone whi
When I was in highschool my science/physics teacher had a hand crank Van Dr Graaff generator. So I went online and stumbled upon the Leyden jar being used to store power from the Van Dr Graff. So I made a dry version from a 5 gallon bucket, aluminum foil on the inside and outside walls and a small chain attached to the lid that ran to the foil coated bottom. I brought it into class to find out that even after charging it, I thought I discharged it, and like 5 hours later after school was released, I went to the classroom to bring the Leyden bucket home. I accidentally touched both ends of the buckets contacts and found out that it was capable of holding a charge powerful enough to make me see a flash of white over 5 hours after initially being charged.
Hi Grant You should do a levitating project with the magnets you got from the microwaves you took apart
Grant doesn’t exist anymore
Bro Reiss It's gr8 when its n8 m8, i r8 8/8
Cookie David yeah he does, Nathan just makes more of the videos I'm pretty sure
Cookie David because 3 days ago he made the flint bomb
Yeah
Apparently classic Tupperware tubs work really well for Leyden jars. PET plastic in drink bottles is slightly porous, so unless it has been kept dry for days, it conducts a very small charge through the walls. The soft plastic in classic Tupperware has similar characteristics to the insulation on electrical wires and is not porous. Also, most of the foil with insulation tape reduces charge loss, and any area you intend on touching needs to be in the middle, not on an edge, as sharp edges release static charge. (That's why lightning rods are pointy.) Another tip, use a piece of copper wire instead of a galvanised iron nail. Copper conducts electricity better, and loop to top end over so there are no sharp ends. Swap the paper for a piece of nylon, polyester, or silk, and if you don't squeal from the shock after following those tips, there's something wrong with you.
Great video! Im completely stunned by the quality. Completely shocking to see what you what make with such simple materials. Through the whole video my eyelids were completely static. I was like "Watt? This is amazing". It must take a real bright spark to come up with these ideas.
Finally! Something i can legally make!
😂😂😂
Adrix W. lol
I know I wish they would make more of these
Adrix W. True
Lol I was thinking the same thing
I tried this with my friends up to 8 persons when the first person touched that nail everyone goes crazy...we played with the jar for a hour.well I thank you and appreciate for explaining the working of a capacitor thank you
Terrific demonstration! You just got yourself a new fan. Well done!
This looks like a really fun project! And a really fun prank

A friend of mine tried grinding gunpowder with a mortar and pestle in his sophomore science class. It removed several windows and two and a half fingers.
I built Leyden Jars from empty fish food containers when I was 10, though I preferred a dry jar with foil on both the inside and outside of the jar to these wet ones, simply because they were so much lighter so it made it easier to transport my collection of 20+ jars. I have a few tips here: 1. always ground the outer foil when charging it, it makes it easier to build up a charge 2. when discharging larger Leyden Jars ALWAYS USE A TOOL, myself I used a bent paper clip to complete the circuit 3. Rather than using a frictional device like PVC pipe to charge the Leyden Jar, might I suggest building an electrophorus, for an easy start, or going with something like a Wimshurst machine if you want to go full tilt (as I did), if you want to go down the path of awesome whimsy you could build a version of Lord Kelvin's Thunderstorm, that might be right up your alley.
Why isnt anyone using a kite or a clock tower? Doc brown franklin style.
I've watched your channel grow over the years grant, congrats on becoming such a hit on KZhead!
You guys should do this with a group of people... sounds like fun :)
Build a Van der Graaf Generator and charge Leyden Jar with it!
In theory, a really cheap leather belt on a belt sander would work.
Do you want him to die?
Great idea!
I do this every year in my science class.
That could be lethal!
I love easy homemade experiments
adeeb i thought there was a fly on my screen
Lol I just smacked my phone
Last time I was visiting my dad's side of the family my cousin did this and made my brother touch the nail. It was utterly hilarious.

Boooooo
ITS MY FAVORITE PROJECT CHANNEL!
Love the video! I've been watching the King of Random for a VERY long time. But if I'm not mistaken, the plasma globe gives off an alternating current, so the capacitor would be continually charging and discharging, preventing it from actually building up any charge. You should hook it up to a car battery or Van de Graaff machine instead (since they give off a direct current), and then discharge it with something like a paper clip (or a lightbulb!)
Another cool video, thanks guys!!
Time to ask the real question *Can I charge my phone with it?*
UnPhayzable no
Yes
Maybe
I wouldnt it. Your phone chargers with around 5 volts and you cant feel 5 volts so with this if you can feel it it is probably to powerful
Austin Sherwood, rest in peace, dreams.
I already graduated HS but my brother is still there and i take him to school. I would probably see this happen with group of people either outside the school or in a cafeteria lol
Make it happen! :D
Hey guys your vids are so awsome thank you so much that if i don't know what to do i just go to youtube and watch your vids so thank you so much
The best part was when he chugged that bottle
Yes
jj
Please do some of Nikola Tesla's science experiments or better yet make the Tesla Coil from scratch please!!!!
Cool. I like these experiments with electricity. Keep them coming
😰
i think is awesome im really happy to know about making leyden jar 😎😜 thank you.
at our library we have this bench its so cool. two people sit on it and touch the metal part on the armrest and the touch hands and it plays music. if you move your hand along the armrest it plays different music.
Be careful when you stroke your pipe, you'll build up a charge, and it's gotta discharge somewhere. Save a paper towel.
You should never over stroke your pipe ).
That’s pretty funny
Its the same just a lot more advanced, Stroke it get a bio data stream, Before you know it know it another Machine build for working.. Lots more fun too
Well that's SHOCKING😉
T-T
with you all the way! great show!
simple and fun,you are awesome
Static electricity VS Gunpowder
i like that i will subscrbe to a-
a-lpha of Zeldaforme Gaming that would blow up
i like that idea
Yo nice idea
GUYS! GRANT IS NOT DEAD. NOW HE IS DOING THE DIY PLANNING FOR ALL OF THESE VIDEOS. He is not dead or gone. He is the brains of the project. This allows for cool DIY projects and have daily videos.

Cool video, just know that with some slight modification, Leyden jars can be extremely dangerous or deadly if you use a different dielectric and add more surface area.
really cool easy project, well done
I’d love to see some videos on ‘testing’ your Leyden Jar. What can you charge it with? Can you regulate the discharge? Can you measure the voltage you’ve charged it to? What about using your high voltage neon sign transformer to charge?
Everything about a Leyden jar depends on the size of the jar and size of conductors.
I love this guy
You can charge this with a mosquito killing racket. Just disassemble it and plug one wire into the aluminium foil and the other into the nail. You will get a huge electrical shock them :D
Dj Pauloso can we do it with other ways?
I suppose you could use a disposable camera, like the ones turned into stun guns
Matt Holmes MODERN ROGUE
Matt Holmes wait what? Turning cameras into stun guns? How!? (That's amazing)
@Pug Fister lol thanks but that comment was 7 months ago
nailed the chug bro
Building a Van de Graaff generator would be a cool project and you can more things than with the Leyden Jar. Pleasw Build one. Like if you agree.
How long would this hold the charge?
Seven.
Walrus
Table
until the water evaporates
Couple of minutes.
6:35 Hank from King of the hill
Great fun experiment ❤
Hey Grant I would like to see some more videos with your metal foundry like if you agree.😀
Try to light a lightbulb for just a split second please
It would work. Hold the foil, hold the screw of the light bulb, touch the tip to the nail. It might not last long enough to be able to see the light, though.
That’s *Shocking* I had no idea you could do this, and how easy it is.
I like how you are actually experimenting unlike most other people
Make a homemade plasma lighter
I used about 10 feet of tube , charged it , than touched it and it made a mark on my finger
The larger the leyden jar, the greater the charge it can hold.
Gotta love that *Sparkling Ice*
Great video! Small suggestion next time you do something where there may be intricate sounds could you cut the background audio/songs so we are able to hear them?
SCIENCE IS THE BEST
Simeon Gawel you won't learn much in-depth science by watching King Of Random lol
Your the worst
i subscribe and Left a Like i love your videos.
Wow it work...I made a different version of it in school lol!
i loved that!!
Did dat as kid with slide by going down and getting static. I think static electricity is different from the plasma globe so can be held be the capacitor
The difference is the plasma lamp uses ac and not dc.
Static electricity is electrons being separated from their atoms by friction so Nate is basically dumping the spare electrons into the water.
Almost every video you guys on trending
cos they are epic
Your english explains how old you are.
Hey Grant what happens when you do a black circle or square in sharpie on your skin or something and press the flash of your phone against it and take a picture? Does it give an electric shock or is it like a really warm burn?
Love this channel
Try charging it with piezo igniter and let see what happens?
Hey grant try making smoke bomb using crayons Equipments are oil crayon , potassium nitrate , sugar and baking soda , pan and bottle Instructions are melt the oil crayon in a pan until liquid then mix with potassium nitrate,sugar and baking soda then until powdery type and pour it in the bottle and with the rope that can lit it on fire and make it like a smoke bomb
That staring... it breaks your soul 😶 (😂😂)
I did this just for fun, with the addition of a Van De Graff genorater for the static supply. Was incredibley fun and created some big sparks. Word of warning the static this created was powerfull enough to knock my down. Big fun tho.
Well, I guess we know who today's sponsor is. XD
Those are kind of neat I think I saw something like this on MythBusters
Thank you for the heart
One time my siblings, my friend, and I were on the trampoline at night. Then, my friend and my sister accidentally shocked each other with static electricity. We were so surprised that we could *see* the light that we spent the rest of the night rubbing our hair on the net and then going up to someone on the net and looking at the light (and making our hair very matted) It's cool to see and something to do if you're bored.
Have you tried making a battery by wiring several laden jars together? Ben Franklin did that. In fact he adapted the term battery from it's mitilary description for a group of cannons when describing a group of laden jars wired together.
What happens next will shock you!!!!
The best part of science class was charging these off a CRT monitor and nearly destroying kids on the playground.
heyhey, I think the colour of the spark is from the material you take out the spark.... like in an Optical Emission Spectrometer. The plasmagas vapors atoms from the foil or your finger ( natrium from the salt in your sweat should be orange) and that changes the emissionlines of the light spectrum, try to use some copper and it should turn greenish. greetings from Austria
Does the size of the bottle matter cuz I did the exact same thing but with a little bit smaller bottle.
Try pranking Grant by using it 😁😁😁
Kaustubh Kamlakar grants dead
Wtf?
Are you kidding me?
No he's saying that because Grant isn't in every video
Grant was in the last video
Hi i love your videos could you try to make liquid helium
I AM BATHMAN DOO THIS GRANT PLEASE PLEASE EVERY ONE REPLIE ‘’ AWESOME IDEA’’
Could you connect a few of them to see if you can increase the out put?
Have you tried charging the Leyden jar/soda bottle capacitor with a Van de Graaff generator? Maybe using the magnet as a semi wireless power transfer as well?
What if u make more of the bottle and connected it all together then test how powerful it is :^)
Do another video with more people and do some fun experiments. First, touch the foil, then hold person 2's hand, get person 2 to hold the hand of person 3 and then shake person 3's hand. Then try to charge it using a DC volt (thanks to ElectroBOOM's comment about the DC current), you can find DC adapters everywhere. Then try to light up an LED, and then burn out an LED (you're going to need to touch the foil, aka ground, touch the long leg of the LED with the same hand, then touch the short leg of the LED to the nail). Maybe make multiple jars, charger them all up, and then have some fun with them? Include the multiple people in this activity?
Watching from Canada
Great video and was entertaining. what if you tried charging it with a some batteries like 9V or larger?
I would like to see you measure the charge with a volt meter, you know, for science.
What would happen if you used something other than paper towels? Like fleece, felt, wool, burlap, ect
could you charge it the touch it to a LED to produce light or do something to make it useful?
Cool fun video mate! I appreciate the ac comment and rectifier solution but you could also create a spark gap from the ac output which converts it to pulsed dc I think ! Somebody correct this if it's wrong.
Lmao I was drinking the same flavor of sparkling ice while watching
Daniel P why is that hard to believe? I have some of them in my fridge right now.
I know wtf 😂 I was standing while watching this video *"NO YOU WEREN'T!"*
No you dont
Connect a bunch together to see how powerful you can make it
Maybe use one of those water-cooler bottles.
Can i charge it with a 14v dc adapter, negative to outside and positive to inside?
how about a diode on the input side of the high voltage coil one from an old microwave would work well but be carefull the capacitor may be enough to defib you great video also I wonder if a cheap stun gun would do the trick to charge it (I forget if they pulse dc or ac)
I would always go with a group of friends to are playground at are school on person would hold a metal pole one person would stand next to the slide everybody held pinkies and the last person would rub their hand against the slide, and shock everyone by touching the person next to the slide.
The problem with the plasma ball is that the output is AC. Try the rectified HV output of a flyback transformer from an old CRT monitor. From personal experience, it will give you much more of a charge then you will ever expect!
Don't screw around with the flyback transformer of a CRT TV. There's even a warning on that rubber cap that covers the connector to the tube. Touch that output wire and you're dead.
Two questions..... do you touch the nail with the tube or just pass near it, and how long will it hold a charge ?
Thanks bro i did it it is amazing
Is this The Prince of Random?
build a Van-de-Graaff-Generator to charge it
great idea!
That can actually be pretty dangerous, fyi.
@@TravisTerrell nop
@@TravisTerrell it is the equivalent of rubbing your feet on a carpet
Hey King of Random, is it possible when you tried to charge it using the plasma ball (or what ever its called) and it started to emit a smell could it be that rather than charging it you began the process of electrolysis? Electrolysis for those who don’t know is when you run a electrical current through water to produce Oxygen (or something like that, feel free to correct me)
You are mostly correct, electrolysis is the process of running an electric current through water and splitting it into hydrogen and oxygen however, for that to occur you would need a positive and negative electrode in contact with the water. Hydrogen and Oxygen also have no smell but Ozone (a triple oxygen molecule rather than the breathable double molecule) does have a smell.
I forgot to mention the Ozone is created by O2 being torn apart because of the electric current and reforming into some O, some O2 and some O3 I believe. Anyone feel free to correct me on anything I am wrong about. The last thing I want is to spread misinformation
