Richard,

Nice series of experiments!  I'm glad the electrometer is working for
you.

I believe in the posts prior to Christmas last year I explained that the
POLARITY of the electometer received VOLTAGE was always negative and
negative only. The deflections are huge (Over 300 volts), and virtually
without time delay.  This being read by a Keithley electrometer. 
Richard,
You saw this when you were here.  This is the feature you note above and
leaves interesting questions open.

  When the Keithley electrometer was placed in Coulomb mode, reading the
coulombic charge on an object, the accumulated charge on the sphere near
a
continuously running coil was always, 100% of the time, a POSITIVE
coulombic
charge indicated. This charge had a distinct time lag (RC time constant)
which increased with range while the charge decreased as the inverse
square
at range. Thus, agreeing totally with theory

   All of these features were duplicated and proven with both AC and
pure DC
powered coil systems.  On our report tape #55 I show how I verified the
positive accumulated coulombic charge on an isolated capacity with a
simple
electroscope, thus showing the Keithley to be correct.  The mystery
still
elludes me a bit, but I am sure it is some obvious oversight.  If not,
then
what gives?  It amazes me that the voltage recorded on a given sphere
leaps
instantly to a huge negative value while the accumulated coulombic
charge
slowly rises to some positive value.

Puzzled still,
