I'm quite curious what this accident was

essentially, his experiment isn't precise/careful enough to extract useful results, as opposed to Millikan's

how are we eliminating dust particles?

do we need to be concerned about slip?

wow the fact that he's doing this with the light off for a bunch of the time is wild - I find it hard enough to follow a drop with our little video setup

can it obtain an ion basically immediately when the field is turned on due to the ions being pushed out of the way and potentially into the drops?

how does he know this? Also, my understanding is that because the size of the drop is obtained from the fall, we're assuming that the ions have no mass, or at least negligible mass (because the fall under gravity does not change...)

how slowly? Do we need to consider the evaporation?

this is really quite low - I'd love to see more of his methods and how he's getting such exact measurements

how?

what were they doing to be especially careful? A better description of methods would be helpful

How is it receiving a charge? Isn't the oil initially neutral? What about the blowing out through the atomizer allows it to receive a charge? Also, can we control the charge that the droplet receives?

what is the "kinetic energy of agitation?" I've never heard of that before - I assume it has something to do with mixing or moving particles (particularly in a gas) around, but I'm just curious what it actually is and why it's important
