Maybe this isn't the right group, but I can't find the right one, so
appologies in advance if this is OT. I'm trying to build some Leyden jars http://chem.ch.huji.ac.il/~eugeniik/instruments/archaic/leyden_jars.htm . A Leyden Jar is basically an insulating container (glass, plastic) with a thin coating of a metal conductor on the inside and the outside. Normally, you apply a metal foil both inside and outside the container. But... I want to build these inside wine bottles, so I can't reach in and apply a coating by hand. I've thought about metallic paint - thinning it and swishing it around. Something like this: http://www.lessemf.com/292.html . I've though about electroplating, but that doesn't seem practical. To prevent sparking, the coating needs to stop about 1/3 of the way from the top of the jar. Any suggestions for coating the inside of a container with a conductive film, without actually reaching in? Oh, and this is being done on a shoe-string budget, so expensive solutions are out.... TIA, --Kamus |
