Firstly I wrote "Now it's important to understant what a Leyden Jar is because it's just a simple capacitor made out of glass bottle and some metal. The important thing to know is that a jar with 568 ml of capacity has an typical capacitance of 1 nanofarad."

"Originally, the amount of capacitance was measured in number of 'jars' of a given size, or through the total coated area, assuming reasonably standard thickness and composition of the glass. A typical Leyden jar of one pint size has a capacitance of about 1 nF. " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leyden_jar#Quantity_of_charge

Am I wrong?

so calm your tits I did not say, 500 nF leyden jar, that would be rediculous and I did my calulations with 500 picofarads. "The reason the previous set up had 500 picofarads of capacitance is because 2 jars are used in series and the capacitance of two capacitors in series is equal to the reciprocal of the sum of reciprocal capacitance of the capacitors in series, or simply, Q = (1^-1 nF + 1^-1 nF)^-1 = 500 pF."

Excellent block diagram explaining the means of opperation and associated effects.

They just don't realise what they are sitting on because they were invented in 1860 when atomospheric motors sucked and current transformers didn't exists.

These machines were actually relativelly useless for decades after they were invented and even today, they are assumed useless.

Now stop worrying about how it works and build one. It can be done out of recycled materials.

Build it yourself if you're so confident it doesn't work.

I'm not going to argue with you, build it yourself so you can see that you are wrong.
