Abstract

Experiments are described in which observations were made of the motion of electrically charged cloud particles past a sphere. The cloud particles were moving vertically up in an air stream, and there was a vertical electric field. This gave conditions similar to those surrounding a falling rain drop in a thundercloud, and the observations are in accordance with the theory proposed by Wilson to account for the mechanism of thunderclouds.
