Excerpt from IL Nuovo Cimento, 1881, Vol. 10
La tabella precedente è disposta in modo che si compren de facilmente ed i numeri trascritti indicano che al momento della scarica l'aria del termometro subisce una dilatazione, per cui l'indice di esso si abbassa: la quale dilatazione im percettibile per le piccole cariche, cresce rapidamente col cre scere di queste. Si scorge inoltre che detta dilatazione rapi damente sparisce, e qualche volta una parte o residua (cc lonna III) si dilegua lentamente. Coteste dilatazioni sem brano essere prodotte dal calore svolto nella bottiglia, e ge nerato da quelle scintille che si veggono nel buio a mo' di arborescenze guizzare dai bordi liberi delle armature e cor rer su per le superficie verniciate del vetro. La quali scin tille riscaldando, forse, l' aria ed il vetro son la cagione che parte della dilatazione sparisce rapidamente e parte lenta mente: e concordemente alle dilatazioni, esse sono brevi.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the previously uncharted correlations between the contrasting internal and external discharge properties of Leyden jars under various conditions of charge. It discusses the phenomena observed during charge and discharge, such as the production of non-acoustic vibrations and the illumination of the jar's glass exterior. The author presents a series of experiments to measure both the internal and external discharge phenomena, varying factors such as charge intensity, electrode geometry, and the nature of the circuit and jar. Through these experiments, the author demonstrates the existence of internal discharge, distinct from external discharge, and dependent on the shape of the jar's electrodes. The author concludes that the Leyden jar, when discharging, manifests a duality akin to a battery, with energy partitioning between internal and external discharge paths based on factors like electrode geometry, offering new insights into the nature of electric discharge and the behavior of early electrical storage devices. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
