Technology was lacking in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries compared to what is available at our fingertips today. Even so this time period had its share of science innovation. For example, in science there were ways that scientists were able to study static electricity. One of the ways they were able to do so was the Leyden jar. The Leyden jar is constructed with a glass jar that has an electrode attached to a piece of foil inside of it. Plus, there is a conducting foil is wrapped around the outside of the jar, matching the internal coated area. Finally the whole device is completed by charging it with generator. The jar works by holding the charges from the generator as they are equal but opposite.
