...results of Professor Trowbridge's experiments with the electrical spark, which he has been able to produce with the aid of his powerful storage battery, have created a wide-spread interest in the world of science and he has received most flattering letters from many of the leading physicists of the country...
...found that just ten thousand volts are necessary to produce the so-called X-rays. His discoveries have broken up the old theory that the carbons in an are light must be united to start the flow of light; it seems that, as a matter of fact, the first spark overcomes the atmospheric resistance and the column of air thus heated conducts the following stream of light...
...secondary 6000 ohms. The current through the primary was not stronger than 15 ampheres. The current from the secondary of the first coil was sent through the primary of 25 turns of a Tesla induction coil, the secondary of which has 500 turns. The secondary will give a spark through about six inches of air. Its terminals were connected with the electrofloe of the Crooke's tube already mentioned...
...Yale Laboratory. The starter's pistol is arranged so that an electric contact is broken when the pistol goes off.
