When we are speaking about "energy vampires", we are thinking about the situation, where something would suck the electricity from the electric grid, and the reason could be that somebody steals the electricity from the wires. The reason could be simply, that the person would not want to pay electric bills, and that is sometimes the reason, why the electric circuit of the houses have overload. But there is one possibility, what can cause terrible problems in the electric circuits and electronics. The reason could be that somebody is loading the Leyden jars with electricity. Those capacitors can load very high loads of electricity inside them, and if the loader wants, that kind of system can cause extremely high voltage pike to the electric circuits in some area.


There is a scenario, that some person would collect the glass bottles in the cellar of some house. And after that, our man would cover them with aluminum foil. When the voltage level would be high enough, our man can just deliver that electricity to the electric circle. In some scenarios, the persons would want to make burglary in the bank, and then they just use that thing for making electric pike to the system for damaging the alarming systems. Also, the hackers would want to destroy the electricity of some area, because they would want to cover, what they have done. That kind of electromagnetic weapons are very easy to make and in some stories in the area of Russian or USA:s embassy is the giant capacitor, what can destroy the electric circles in the large area.


Those kinds of super powerful capacitors can be made by using glass bottles and aluminum foil. That system is actually very easy to manufacture. But if on the top of the isolative tower would put the metal pieces, and then the electricity would be conducted to those bites, would forming even more powerful electric phenomenon than Leyden jars. That system is called "Tesla Coils". Those systems are used in the particle accelerators, and there is nothing, what denies to use them in the military purposes. Those capacitors can connect to the enemy power supply system, and then that electricity would deliver to the electric wires. If the electricity and voltage would rise high enough,  every electric system in the area will be damaged. The system can be connected to the enemy high voltage wires, and then that electricity would load to that capacitor. Then it would deliver to the circuit. The system is very simple and lightweight. So it can be installed to the electric wires very easily by men, who have high voltage assemblers training.
