I never managed to get a kelvin generator to work, usually blaming it on 'l=
osses exceed generation."  But apparently there are subtleties to flow rate=
 that I was previously unaware of as well.

Does anyone know of a somewhat more quantitative treatment of electrostatic=
 devices from this era?  As a teenager, I read Moore (http://www.amazon.com=
/Electrostatics-Exploring-Controlling-Electricity-Includes/dp/1885540043 ) =
a lot of times, and built some of the projects.  And then I took college ph=
ysics, and became a SW engineer.  And then, years later, I noticed that I'v=
e never seen anything remotely numeric attached to any electrostatics proje=
cts; not even qualitative numbers like "if you shorten this distance here, =
you increase/decrease the voltage produced"=85
