You can also use a Voltmeter to check if it has already produced your desire voltage.
Cut Coin-sized Circles From the Aluminum Foil and Cardboard.

Just continue adding coins, foil and cardboard until it reaches your desired voltage. Well, what I want was 9V but I only got 4.33V so I added more 'till it reached 9V.
Put the Wires.
