A static generator may be substituted for the induction coil.Currents of exceedingly high frequency are produced by the D Arsonvalapparatus. When currents of much higher potential are desired they canbe obtained from a fine wire coil of relatively many turns, inclosed in aglass tube filled with petroleum, and inserted in the thick wire coil. That the frequency must be exceedingly high is proved by an experi-ment made by Dr. Sheldon. In place of the induction coil for producingthe spark at the gap, he employed a Holtz machine.
