Book Description

Excerpt from Proceedings of the Royal Society of London, Vol. 50: From June 4, 1891, to February 25, 1892 The capacity of one of these condensers was 0028, of the other microfarad. Single glass thickness would have given much greater capacity, but preliminary experiments showed that single thicknesses of glass were punctured by very modest Sparks. It is important in these experiments to have joints better made than is usual for high-tension electricity. Fizzing or sparkling inside jars is abominable.
