I built a leyden jar and have noticed something rather interesting:
After discharging the jar and letting it sit overnight I can come back to it and short it out and get a tiny little spark...then I let it sit and come back later and I can get it to spark
again. I've repeated this over and over. What causes this effect? Is it just picking up charges from the air?
