Re: Explanation of the positive E.S. charge

Richard,
Does your source only theorize this mechanism or do they provide hard
experimental evidence?
An easy experiment would be placing your small TC in various containers
and charging the ball. A plastic 5-10 gallon bucket or metal bucket
would be a good start. A Bell jar and vacuum would be best. What
about a chicken wire grid at ground or other potentials? A magnetic
field, ala CRT, to divert the ions or electrons in front of the ball is
another option.
If you fire the coil without spark breakout does the ball charge
positive?
