  Hello list,

 What was Tesla's anti-static device and was it used with
his high voltage experiments?
  It looks like two flat pancake coils that slide on a rod.
Sort of like two primaries of a tesla coil that can change
inductance simply by changing there physical distance from
each other if they are connected in series or parallel.
