… Tesla removes the gap and lets the elevated capacitance run free, but the wind held the streamers down. We have seen … the ball, retunes, and lets the sparks issue from the free rubber covered wire alone. He now gets sparks of 16 to …
… his math again, and again. I must protest that raising a free swinging ball from 33.66 feet to 34.66 feet will not increase its capacity by almost 100%! Notice I said free swinging. If Tesla got the ball near a metal mass in …
… he wound on September 8 for studying the propagation of signals thru the ground. It has been rewound and now has …
… idealized capacitance of a body is obtained only when it is free from all surrounding objects. He realizes that the …

… He will now be able to make up a table to work with future calculations of the elevated capacity of any ball. …
… only a few feet of separation. Once the ball is relatively free and clear of other objects, its capacitance, as Tesla …
