<P> A Leyden Jar , or Leiden Jar , is a device that `` stores '' static electricity between two electrodes on the inside and outside of a glass jar . A Leyden jar typically consists of a glass jar with metal foil cemented to the inside and the outside surfaces , and a metal terminal projecting vertically through the jar lid to make contact with the inner foil . It was the original form of a capacitor ( originally known as a `` condenser '' ) . </P>
