| 21. | Crosse first started experimenting with electricity during his time in the sixth form, when he built a Leyden jar.
|
| 22. | Franklin experimented not only with the electrostatic machine with the glass globe, but with the Leyden jar as well.
|
| 23. | Franklin designed a " dissectible " Leyden jar " ( right ) ", which was widely used in demonstrations.
|
| 24. | It can charge a Leyden jar to many thousands of volts and electrify small objects hung from silk threads.
|
| 25. | Benjamin Franklin, for example, used a Leyden jar to store electricity from lightning in his famous kite experiment in 1752.
|
| 26. | Each time the clappers touch a bell, charge is transferred between the inner and outer surfaces of the Leyden jar.
|
| 27. | Braun's circuit afforded a much longer sustained oscillation because the energy encountered less losses swinging between coil and Leyden Jars.

| 28. | Braun's circuit afforded a much longer sustained oscillation because the energy encountered less loss swinging between coil and Leyden Jars.
|
| 29. | Dunkin constructed for himself an electrical machine, voltaic piles, and Leyden jars, and made models illustrative of the principles of mechanics.
|
| 30. | The Leyden jar was the first means of storing an electric charge which then could be discharged at the experimenter's will.
