A large, open glass container nearly filled with rock salt, copper laid on salt, then container filled with enough water to submerge the copper - and probably charged with natural DC.

All help will be greatly appreciated laugh
PS - if this thing works, it would emit Chlorine gas while effervescing so don't try this at home, kids!
You'll need another copper plate to make it a capacitor. The electrons have to flow from one plate to another.

Plate
Rock Salt/water
Plate

However, seeing as the rock salt will make the water conduct like crazy, this won't be a very good capacitor. Maybe if you use distilled/deionized water it will work. Or even better, oil.
