In a recent episode of MacGyver, Angus (that's what his REALLY close friends call him) builds a Leyden jar with some very simple components. Of course there is some awesome physics here, so I will obviously go over this. Full disclosure-I'm currently the Technical Consult for the MacGyver show. What is a Leyden Jar? A long time ago, humans were just starting to figure out this whole electricity thing-in particular the study of electrostatics.
