A series of experiments made on this plan have revealed the fact that if a number of vertical Insulated wires are hung up in the air and rather near together, the electrical capacity of the whole of the wires in parallel is not nearly equal to the sum of their individual capacities.

If a number of parallel Insulated wires are separated by a distance equal to about 3 per cent.

First, the aerial may be Insulated, and we may charge it to a high potential and allow this charge suddenly to rush out.
