Re: Harnassing Static Electricity

So, let's see if I've got this right; Got the copper wire, suspended in the air on insulators. Connects to 1 metal plate.Sheet of glass seperates that plate from another metal plate, which is hooked to grounded copper rod.If I've got that right so far, whats up, exactly, with this 1" air gap? Where is it (in the circuit) and whats the purpose?( In case you can't tell, my knowledge of electricity is negligible, but I'm interested in learning.) Jim
