Once they have given up their excess electron(s) to the front surface of the ball, they become neutrals so they go with the wind their former colleagues behind are still entraining, around the ball and beyond. Now one might ask, what's special with the front of the ball? Shouldn't the ions be

I just got around to reading the experimental results at: http://amasci.com/weird/unusual/airexp.html I was surprised to see: - I can't see any effects from a 3/4 neodymium magnet. At 10nA, the magnetism around each thread must be incredibly small. That's an indication the ratio of q/m is

Hi Horace, I had read about the absence of magnetic deviation too (as well as the rest of Bill's excellent and remarkably complete experiment reports), it is not incompatible with the ion refocussing water bump (sounds better than pimple) hypothesis I posted earlier. You would not expect the

I suspect the threads are nearly 100 percent polar molecules, CO2 and/ or water. This could be checked by eliminating CO2 and water from the air - provided a foolproof means exists for seeing the threads, or at least determining their existence through the current readings. If the threads
