To build a Jacobs Ladder you will need:

1. A NEON sign transformer with 115 vac in
	and 12Kv to 15Kv at around 3 ma.
2. A block of wood(very dry) or heavy plastic
	and two metal screws about No. 10 size,
	set into the wood about 6 cm apart.
	
3. Two copper rods that are able to be bent
	into a V shape that is about 2 cm at the
	bottom and about 7 cm at the top. They
	are to connected to the two screws and
	from the Ne sign xformer to the screws
	with T.V. high voltage wire(Anode wire)
	good to 25Kv. The screws hold the rods
	in place.
4. Plug it in and burn. 

Watch that you don't end up fried or have the FCC
arrest you for RFI transmitting.
