The Static Capacitor project is to create, well a Static Capacitor. This capacitor would possibly be something akin to a Leyden jar. These capacitors can store electricity created by any electricity source but most commonly an electrostatic generator. They work like most capacitors in that who have two metal conducting sheets separated by an insulator (anything that doesn't conduct electricity). Every other sheet is charged with opposite charges. In the case of a Leyden jar, there are only two sheets with opposing charges, one in the bottle and the other on the outside. The inside sheet is charged by a chain or wire connected to one terminal. The outside sheet is grounded.
