Step #6-8

Step 6: Trim the lids



In this step we'll cut away any extra Goop that may get in the way of the electric post installation. A utility knife and some needle nosed pliers should make this easy. Be careful not to cut through the lids or crack them.



Step 7: Cut, Strip and Curl

Cut two 34" lengths of 14 gauge copper wire for each jar. The wire length will vary depending on the size of your jars and fiberglass. Then strip each piece so that the copper is completely exposed.

To finish preparing your wire for installation, curl the tip of one end of each wire so that a 1/4" Screw fits through snugly.


Step 8: Finishing the Jars

Here are the completed generators.

After Step #5

Here's what Phil's generators look like so far.



In the next steps you'll have to create the electrical posts. This is a side view of how each post is constructed.



The jars should be airtight after the posts are installed. Wait till the glue dries then, with the lid screwed on, cover one valve and blow into the other one. You'll have to ad more goop around the electric posts and valves if you hear air hissing out of the jar.
