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?
