Milestones in the history of precipitation
Chapter
Abstract
While the first commercially successful precipitators were installed in the early part of this century, historically, the first report of the electrical attraction of smoke appears in 1600, when William Gilbert [1] describes the phenomenon: ‘Everything rushes towards electricks excepting flame and flaming bodies and the thinnest air...yet they entice smoke sent out by an extinguished light.’ The next report was in 1824, when Dr M. Hohlfeld at Leipzig [2], performed an experiment of clearing fog in a jar containing an electrified point. This work was repeated by C. F. Guitard in 1850 [3].
