Dust and sandstorms are most often found to be negatively charged. The same explanation can be applied to waterfall electricity where the negative charge, induced by the fairweather field on a surface of water, is being carried over the edge of a waterfall. As the electrified water falls over the edge it breaks up into small drops and forms a mist of negative space charge, referred to as the Lenard effect or waterfall electricity ... 6, record 2, English, - Lenard%20effect
