Abstract

This is an extraordinary report by Richard Hull. A Tesla coil RF output is shown to produce a high electrostatic charge on a distant insulated metallic object. The same charge accumulation phenomenon was found to occur on the distant object during the initial charging phase of the Van de Graaff generator. The experiments are carefully performed and well-documented.
