It was the original form of a capacitor (originally known as a condenser). It was invented independently by German cleric Ewald Georg von Kleist and by Dutch scientist Pieter van Musschenbroek of Leiden (Leyden) in 1745-46. The invention was named for the city. The Leyden jar was used to conduct many early experiments in electricity, and its discovery was of fundamental importance in the study of electrostatics. The Leyden jar was the first means of storing an electric charge which then could be discharged at the experimenter's will. Leyden jars are still used in education to demonstrate the principles of
