Abstract
A highly sensitive radiometer with triple vanes cut from house fly''s wings is not influenced by electrostatic fields when suspended within a brass tube of small radius which in turn is enclosed centrally within a quartz tube. The principle, which is the electrical analogue of Newton''s theorem, is that the force within a closed conductor is zero.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
