so I purchased a kit online to make a small Jacob's ladder thinking it would come with instructions or, at the very least, a diagram. But nothing. My question is which wire is which? MyIMG_0663.JPG IMG_0662.JPG IMG_0664.JPG assumptions would tell me that the thicker gauge red wire and the black wire are the final output. But the coiled wires is where I get a little stumped. If I had to guess I would assume the bottom and top lead are positive and the middle lead is the negative, but I don't like trial and error when it comes to high voltage.
Also, for the leads that will create the moving spark, would a coat hanger suffice?
Thank you in advance
