How do you make Jacob's ladder?

first you get string and then you put the three middle fingers behind and your pinky and thumb behind them and then with your index finger you put it in th line that you made. Well that is all i know welx for getting you started! if you go to google.com you can type in how to make Jacobs ladder with string and a bunch of videos will come up click on one and try it!

The answer to this question from an electrical viewpoint is too technical to go into here, but some info is available on the internet. This project should only be attempted

by someone trained on the hazards of high voltage, since lethal voltages are generated. If you don't know the "One hand rule", you have inadequate training.

Don't believe everything you read about them on the Internet, for example wood is a poor insulator at these voltages. Please seek expert advise, first !
